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."

Yeepie! The boxes arrived. They will have to figure out what day is best to hand out all the Pillowcases. Hope someone takes pictures. I feel so good that the pillowcases make it. Its a relief knowing they are there.

Haven't heard from the son since the mail arrived so I don't know if the PC' got there or not. If I hear something I will let you all know.

I wonder when they will put new pictures on the FB page?

There are no stupid questions here, we all had to learn from someone else.
I send books, magazines, nuts, gum, candy. Once in awhile I send a DVD or a small game. You know what your children like so anything goes. I would caution you about sending home baked goods, since it takes so long to get mail I would avoid sending anything that is baked with eggs or milk as it spoils and could cause illness if eaten.
Also if you have a girl you may want to include a new undergarment now and then or any special product she like to use.

This is my first deployment also but I sent things like bagged candy, Canned nuts, Pringles, Beef Jerky and Slim Jims, Pop-Tarts and what ever I thought would travel well and hold up under alot of heat. I sent homemade cookies too but did not realize it would take 3 weeks to arrive so I won't do that again.
In my next box I am including his DVD's, a gun magazine (my son is a GM) , a couple books, some small tobasco type stuff and antacid, cough drops, breathe mints, etc.... Hope that helps.
