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."

Please post your sailors' birthdays here. We would all love to send them birthday cards and letters throughout their Navy journey.
I think that the only way to safely and privately pass on their addresses is to private message anyone who would like to have them. If you want to send your sailor's address to me, I could compile a list of all of our sailors and then e-mail it privately to each of you.

My hubby picked out the cards for the guys this month and he got little boy cards... So they should be funny for our Young men! LIsa when you talk to Z I hope his birthday will be a nice day.
Cj's card finally went out yesterday! We had not had mail since Saturday. It was like Christmas all over again :)
We had a lot of snow for Georgia. Georgia is by no means prepared to handle that much snow! None of the neighborhoods were plowed. Only some of the main streets were plowed. I just feel bad because the boys cards were late and Z's birthday is Monday and it's a holiday! His box will not make it by Monday :( If you have the February birthday list please send it to me. I can probably get those out on time LOL!
