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."

Than you honey, but this was a small one and I would have been thrilled to have gotten 5 boxes filled. So imagine how happy I was with 20!!!! I have a wonderful group of friends and so many contributed items, even if they couldn't be here. When others heard about how many boxes we filled, many offered to help pay for shipping. It worked out great!
I only wish I could have gotten Keira (the dog) to look up. She was convinced there was food in that package!!! -

Have to say thanks for making me laugh today. It's been very stressful (and none of it related to the holidays!) these last 2 weeks and when I got on here and saw all those pictures of fruitcakes everywhere, I just had to laugh!! My kids thought I had gone crazy, laughing at fruitcake decorating and in the police car.
