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 bought a bunch of toiletries and snacks and put together gallon ziplocs for each of them! They will get shampoo, lotion, chap stick, shower poof, shower gel, snacks, cookies; I made brownies and vacuum sealed them and froze them. Also got a box of oatmeal packets from costco and will send those too. Don't worry, all the toiletries are in ziplocs, separate from the food. Just waiting for the larger boxes to be delivered from the post office. It's fun doing "girl stuff" for a change!

My box is filled with trail mix, 4 cups of gum, toothbrushes and paste, really good samples from our nutrition store, and 4 razors, plus some pods laundry detergent. Add 4 pillowcases since the facebook person is sending 6. Sounds like we have some nice boxes going out!
