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."

Welcome! Yes I set this up because there wasn't one for us. Slow getting started but still good.

I just send TJ a whole box of chocolate and 2 bags or Oreo cookie got there fine and wasn't melted. Maybe some mixed nuts, goldfish, microwave popcorn, That is all I can think of right now, The if it fits it ship from the USPS work well and they give you a $2.00 discount of you are shipping to a military address.

I hope everyone is feeling better. Can you give me suggestions for things that ship well and they like to get? I know I can't ship anything that melts, but what else can't they get easily on board? I want to send a pick me up.

I talk to TJ on facebook Thursday night for awhile. He is IT so he is on a lot. Nothing last night got the message that communication were down. I love the ombudsman keeping us all update with things. This is TJ's first depolymnet think he is doing well. Home sick but I was sure of that. Ready for him to be back in the USA! Is everyone going to homecoming? Can't wait for that. Not sure of the date BUT I WILL BE THERE!!. I did see were communications is back up. Maybe we will heard from our sailor's this weekend! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

They are doing much better. Have you talked to the ombudsman? Gotten an email from her yet? I just got one about several projects.
-

I wish Miranda could email more. I'm glad that he's doing well with things. I heard that the ship is feeling better today in general. Definately good news. She's our only child so I definately worry. Thank you so much for your offer and the information on deployments. Hopefully they will be home for a little while.

Miranda seems very sad. She said many were grieving. I talked to a more experienced parent and deployments are usually this, long
Ugh. I just want to hug and kiss her cares away
It was so easy to make things better when they were little.
