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."

I think it's probably a "timing" deal ...with the emails .... Mine has problems sleeping... So he may get access while others are sleeping....
Karen...glad you said that about buying the phone cards.... Guess I will let him buy them in port. I also need to find out about packing parties.... Surely our chapter does them.

Mary, not sure if he got any of your son's deer jerky... I've been sending him store bought jerky... Trying to get deer jerky from friends.... Right now I am working on buying and wrapping 21 gifts and cards to send to him.... He will turn 21 on April 2!
Hope everyone is well.... I applied for my passport today.... One less thing to worry about... I had thought about going to Canada ...to see Niagra falls when I go to manhattan next month.... Maybe if passport gets here in time!

Please pass on the recipe for hamburger jerky. Sounds interesting and maybe we'll make a batch and send it their way. Thanks ahead of time.

Mary... Good to know others like deer jerky too! Never had hamburger jerky!
Guess those guys are like a brotherhood... Sharing seems to be a common thread!
Navy mon... Glad your day went well!! Nothing like drama or discern in the office!
New members... Y'all jump in and share with us.... Seems like I saw a couple new members in last weeks.

Navy mom.... I talked with mine this am.... He too loves jerky....he asked for deer jerky.... So I will be calling on all my hunter friends! He also said to keep sending individual pkgs of mac n cheese, and cheese nips. I asked him if all the sailors are getting packages.... He said yes.... Not to worry, and just keep sending him plenty, and he will keep sharing! That made me feel better. Guessing they will be rolling....if we don't get phone calls. I keep praying for
peace ..... I will be sending a package thurs or Monday, as I just sent him one Tues. I'm rambling, so I will say good nite... Hope you have peace at your office! That sounds like a good deal on the calling cards! Take care!

I will try to send a few extra with some jerky and candy....in a care bag that mine can give to someone in need!
