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."

The box came today! All it had in it was his sweatshirt, sneakers, some coins and his used plane ticket. Guess he gave the rest of his clothes away. It was great to have a piece of him though :) My son left Oct 1st so you should be getting yours soon too.
