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."

hhmmm- another address involved? This sometimes happens in split families or to a girlfriend. Some kids donate all their clothes to charity. Have you received a letter from him? I don't remember how long it took to get the "kid in a box" but it sure seems like you should have by now.

Thanks for the quick response. No other address is involve. We actually got a call from FedEx on 01/12/2010 to confirm our address. My husband got the call and did not get a tracking#. We were out of town when we got the call but told the FedEx rep. that we will be back in 2 days. Been waiting since then and in fact talked to our FedEx guy and same response..they need the tracking#.

a call from FedEx??? That sounds suspicious! Did you tell them that you received a call from them? I've never heard of them calling the house.

Yes, I did tell them. The first time I called, I spoke with a rep that's in Chicago. I gave her our address and names and she said there was no record. The 2nd time I called, I told them the date and time they called me as their phone # registered on my cell. I did not tell my son until last week thru the letter I sent. I waited this long to tell him as I did not want him to loose focus and also I was hoping it will show up eventually. So how are these boxes delivered?
