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."

I took a picture of 67 for the Marines, but ended up only mailing 65 cause one of the moms came thru with a couple of more pcs. my boxes were stuffed. I had to get the muscle (hubby) to help me close the boxes. The pcs with the double cuffs and flange sure are pretty, but they take up so much more room. But they got mailed today.

I also included 4 shower gels, some red vines indiividually wrapped and over 200 handmade cards.
