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."

yea because they had been gone on all those underways, we have been gettn sea pay, but like kellie's hubby just got on the ship so it prolly has to kick in for theres.

Kellie, yea i am really lucky. but i get those instead of emails. THe phone cut out this morning and he said when he tried to call back there was no dial tone it was just beeping so a heads up they may have cut off the phones for a while he said! we will see hopefully it wont be for long! lol. Yea i put $200 on it this morning. IT does get expensive, but its worth every penny to be able to hear his voice everyday...it makes it easier!!! Ry, cant email much because he is always on the flight deck...so they dont get to use the computers up there much.

I dont think seperation pay has kicked in yet, im waiting for there LES to come up completely so i can see what we got for this month, it probably wont though until the end of the month. I know that ry has been getting sea pay for the past couple months becuase they have been in and out.

The amount of stuff we send Ryan won't fit in the medium box, so I get reinforced boxes from my work that office supplies-paper reams come in. The boxes that I send usually cost me an average of $25 and then little ones I send to his friends cost me about $6. He and all his friends (those in the wedding party) get a box 1x a month from me. The cost in nothing compared to what they do for us. Ryan is my son-in-law, so nothing is to costly for me to show him how much I love him and appreciate him. Just don't send letter or cards seperately, mine still haven't gotten there an they were sent out the first week they left.

Sorry for all the typos I'm on my itouch
Comment by ryanswifey on February 12, 2010 at 12:28am
It doesn't phase me how much I spend. Those boxes are to small for mebi have so bc spouses can order them for free from the post office and get all the tape and customs forms with it. I spend more money on the phone cards because I talk to my hubby twice a day. It doesn't master how much I spend as long as he is happy and still has connections to home.

I have free boxes from the post office for military. And the boxes I send aren't small they are normally preet big. But thanks for the info :)

i send mine through the post office and i sent a 30 pound box the first week of feb and paid 26.00 for it for priority mail and it got there on the 9th.
Comment by ryanswifey on February 11, 2010 at 10:07pm
my mom also sent a card by itself two days after they left and he hasnt gotten that yet, they say to send letters and cards with other stuff becuase they wont get lost as easy. all the nassau's packages go to new york and then get sent out to the ship when mail is sent out, that is what the post office told me when i mailed my last package the first week of feb.
