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."

Southngal- Ya lots of heavy stuff....Monster energy drinks for instance! I swear...what we do for the guys we love...heheh. And the flat rate boxes wouldnt fit everything that my mother-in-law and I were sending, actually it was cheaper the way we sent it. And I agree with you girls the email thing is frusterating. But thats cool that you could send that pic to your husband of your youngest son! I have a 2 year old that Im trying to potty train...Ahhh! If you guys have any tips it would be greatly appreciated!

Just curious... Is everyone using the us mail flat rate $12.00 method of shipping? Or do you just fill up a bigger box and ship?
Thanks

Whew.... Talk about a happy Mom when those emails started coming through!
Sent one box of goodies on Tues and another one going out fri am! Those military flat rate boxes don't hold much! I send mine lots of movies.... So he will be sharing with others. How can we find out which sailors if any are NOT getting packages? I will send a package or two or whatever it takes to make sure somebody is not being left out. Please let me know....Danielle... If you can find out .....please let me know. Take care all.... It is freezing way down here on the bayou!
