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 got a letter today and my daughter is asking me to send her makeup and contacts for graduation, does anyone know if this is allowed? Can I send a package?

yes she can have those things for PIR but I would recommend using a manillia envelope. If you send a package she may not get it but if you send a envelope she will get it but will have to open it in front of an RTC to make sure there is no contraband.

I got a call!!! The best 30 minutes a mom could ask for!!! She sounded sooooo good. She has now answered all the questions that she hasn't in letters. 2 weeks!!! I did have to yell at her so she'd stop crying so I wouldn't. Sounds like they are getting there as a division. Division keeps getting smaller though. Can't wait for that "I'm a Sailor" call.

Loved getting that phone call! I think that we're all happy Navy Moms tonight! Does anyone know if they can wear their regular glasses for grad or do they have to wear navy issued glasses? And if they can, how should I send them?

Will anyone have an extra seat available for PIR on Oct. 7th? We have a grandparent that would like to come. Thanks!

You CAN send them either their contacts or their regular glasses right before PIR - so next week would be a good time. I am planning on putting my sons glasses in a case wrap in bubble wrap, and then in a padded envelope. They will get an envelope, but not necessarily a box. That way, the don't have to wear the 'gogs' as my son calls them. If you are sending contacts, same idea, but include a small bottle of saline too.
