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."

We sent the first round of packages on Jan 20 and then again on Jan 23rd and our sailor recieved them all on Jan 27th. We sent regular mail- cards but they have not been recieved. Sent another round of packages on Feb 1st, so lets see how long it takes for them. We send 2 to 4 packages at one time. Have you ladies got your free boxes, tape and labels from the post office. Goggle free boxes for the military wives. Has everyone else alos found the website where you can send free phone cards to your sailor?

your sons/daughters should have access to be able to buy calling cards on board the ship (Karl does on the Mesa Verde)..why not just put a little extra cash in their checking accounts or the accounts that are attached to their card for the ship, that way they can buy the cards on board the ship. Karll has been doing this and the cards I send him he saves to use3 on land...if he ever gets back to that point again.
