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."

They will probably have a lot of decorations as well. I will go through my Xmas boxes and pull out decorations I will no longer be using also. Garlands and such.

Navy Moms,
I wish you all brighten the lives of as many troops as you have ours. Since our arrival here in Iraq, we have struggled so hard with getting the little things that most take for granted. Your hearts shine bright through the letters and treats you have all sent to us here. Today we received your packages and the troops absolutely went crazy. We have gone a bit without soaps and shampoo. When we received mail it was roughly 118 – 120 degrees outside, so I am sure the wipes and soaps will go a long way. One of my troops looked at the drawings that some little one drew and burst into tears because his wife gave birth at the beginning of the deployment and has not been home yet to see them. Our job is hard but as Navy Moms yours are even harder. We know you fight the same fight we do everyday, and I feel it is harder for you not knowing what each day brings for us over here. We stand a post everyday so others can have the freedoms they share. We ask for nothing. I received a letter from a couple a few days ago asking me how we can do what we do for nothing more than words on a sheet of paper. We don’t. We do it for the men and women before us and the ones before them who believed in a small court room hundreds of years ago that we should fear no one, and should govern ourselves. We promise you all nothing will happen to you tonight because we have the watch.
On behalf of the sons, daughters, husbands, wives, dads and moms we would all like to give thanks to you all for your gifts from the heart.
V/R

Thank you for posting this. There isn't a dry eye at my house. Okay, I know this is kind of selfish but I hope the drawing was one that my daycare kiddies enclosed in the box we sent. Pat

WE can only assume that is the case :) I think I would let the daycare kiddo's know that they mad a sailor feel very happy to get there pictures from them :)
How special is that !
Ok I have tears again ~~~~~ -

I was the one that asked how they can do what they do for nothing more than words on a sheet of paper

So cool, to just know that they are receiving our letters and packages and reading every word.

Pat, I bet it was one of YOUR kiddies that warmed that sailors heart. I'm sure their drawings touched many of them.
Hoping the kiddies enjoyed doing this and will continue on. -
