OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

My sailor has not gotten the one I sent after they left yet.. but he did get one from a friend's Mom...she sent it about the same time I sent mine.   Sounds like they will be having one big party when they get them all.   I'd say based on the last time out and the record so far of getting mail... is keeping them coming..sooner or later they do get them and THEY do enjoy them!.

Thanks navynana and cheffiona just getting a little frustrated. Not sure if I should send any more right away or wait a little longer? Well I have a couple more ready so I will send those out, just to make sure that he will get some at least semi-regularly.
Comment by cheffiona on April 2, 2011 at 8:50pm
Hey guys I have 5 out there and the first one B got after 9 days that I mailed the day after deployment and one a couple off days after that and again another one a couple of days after that and so on so B got the first and the 3rd and the rest have not arrived and then there was the one i sent last week which im sure she will not see for sometime lol  They will get them eventually!  Just all at once lol
Comment by navynana on April 2, 2011 at 8:43pm
@Michelle - the pkg. our sailor got this last week was mailed from California on March 4th. The next 2 pkg. were mailed on March 17th so I'll let you know when he gets those. Could be a while.
Comment by Michelle on April 2, 2011 at 8:28pm
Oh my goodness snail mail is not the word for it. As far as I know my son still has not received anything. I spoke with his buddy on the Boxer earlier and he said it was about 2 weeks ago that he got my package and was just able to get to the computer last weekend to thank me, So I say what the hey are they torturing the sailors and marines on the Comstock by withholding mail or what?
