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."

That is odd. Don't be too sure about the undies, sadly. Mine has had multiple ones "disappear" from the washing machine & dryer! :-(

I am just a bit befuddled. How in the world did it take my Aunties package make it in a week and none of mine that were mailed way before hers have never made it. I hope they get it figured out soon. At least he got a package full of chocolate to share.... cause I don’t think he nor the others want to share the undies I mailed.

I've mailed 4 different packages. One each week and and none of mine have reached my sailor yet. I'm hoping that maybe the end of this week. Fingers crossed!

Mine went from a USPS destination facility on 4/30 in one zip code zone to a military post office in another and it took 4 days between the 2. The last zip code I've been able to track is not the one on the package! I can't decide if this is just getting interesting or crazy!! Ha!

I mailed my brother two packages at the same time one was last updated in Chicago international the other one has been going back and forth between the same two post offices multiple times and I’m not sure why when both had the same destination. It has gone from Allentown, pa to Philadelphia, pa at least four or five times now. I don’t understand it. Hasn’t gone anywhere else bout back and forth. Has that happened to anyone else before? I’m worried he won’t get that package and it was his birthday box too :-(

Thanks Redsmom. I have been tracking my package(s) and none of the 3 have made it. One on 4/20, one on 4/23 and one on 4/27. None of the 3 have not been updated since 4/30. Now get this...my Auntie in another state (PA) mailed a box full of Hershey Chocolate - yes Chocolate lol- on the 28th and he received it yesterday. And not one chocolate bar was melted. I am beginning to get a little concerned. The rude POST OFFICE employees around here act as if you are asking for a limb when you ask for help. I hope I mailed it correctly. Keep us updated about delivery of your package.

Just (hopefully) useful information: I shipped a package 4/26 and it arrived at FPO on 5/4. Still not to sailor, but getting close! Someone had asked how long packages take to arrive, so just sharing my progress.
