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."

My husband is in Phase lll on hold waiting to go to A school in Florida and he has a cell phone so we can talk to eachother everyday. He said that they sell phonecards there on base at the NEX(navy exchange) where they get all their essentials and he may have already got one. It depends on if they lose phone privilages or not if they will be able to call. My husband said DIV 2 lost their calls today for some reason. So hang in there,you will get a phone call eventually. I remember when I would sit by my phone and wait everyday for a call.

No I have not hear from him yet and it will be 2 weeks friday and my hubby and I are getting worry now, Steven said he would call in once a week and he has not.
I was told to relax but one of the mother on here but you know it is heard to relax when your child is so far away. Steven is my only son and I cant help it if I worry, some people just dont understand that, I guess thats a mother thing.
I tho this was a place to go on for info and question but Im seeing differnet the way some of the mother come on here and talk to you and make you feel more bad then you was. Im not on here to make new friend but it would be nice but I dont need friend like that, if they are going to put me down for worrying about my son I dont want them, yes some of them do put you down. like saying to relax and you cant put that on here stuff like that and more stuff.
Ok how are you? and how is your sailor doing?
thanks
Robin
