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."

For the Stennis: Natalie and Dori got their's mailed by Wed. I had planned to mail my 92 today. And they are neatly packed into 4 boxes, but the post offices are closed today! At the 2nd one that I went to, a nice man helped me try the self serve but it wouldn't take it cause of the custom forms.
So my 92 are going on Tuesday. I did take some photos.

Subject: Pillow Case
Thank you for taking to time make the pillow case. It will serve two purposes.- Not nearly as rough as the ship stock.
- The case will remind me in years to come of the tour and the support we enjoyed from folks at home.
Myself and the sailors aboard genuinely appreciate you all thinking of us.Sincerely,CAPT SxxxxxxxAIR BOSSUSS JOHN C. STENNIS (CVN 74)how cool is that?
