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."

Kristy - here's the link to the USPS customs form: You can do it online or go to your local post office and they can help you (sometimes that's the best way for the first time you do it!):

@Kristy: Yes, I had to fill out a customs form for the FPO AE emailing addresses. Even when my sailor isn't traveling and is in a the home port. It's the address.

I don’t know if this was asked already but I just got my sailors box number today and I’m excited to send him some snacks. Do we need to fill out a customs form to send packages to them on the ship?

Welcome to our newest member ~ Creativekat! Is your sailor on the Truman our attached to part of the strike group supporting them?

Hi all - Happy Monday!
Ali - I'm so glad to hear that the info I posted for the calling cards was good info! And at a much better price too - that's always nice! Keep us updated once your son gets it so we know that it does indeed work ;-) (I went ahead and posted it in a discussion up above so it's easy for everyone to find.)
Kristy - info on an extension could mean anything but that is not something we can openly discuss - OPSEC.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
One day closer......

The person I spoke with when I called the 800 number said these could be used for ship to shore calls. I'm going to send my son only one at this time to make sure they work. I hope this helps!

Good morning, so I have a question when they say they may have an extended stay in the middle east does that mean they’ll be deployed longer or that they won’t go to a different location and stay there instead but still come home same time as planned?

Ali can you share the info on the calling card. I want to get some for my son. Thanks
-

Thanks B'sNukeMoM ! I called and they said they do work ship to shore. I believe they are cheaper than what my son is paying on the ship. He said he paid $20 for 44mins. The card offered is $15 for 300minutes.
