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."

Yep, my nephew burned thru his cell phone minutes real quickly when he got to A school! Kinda like my daughter at college, between the calls, the texting and the emails somedays I wonder if she has even left the house!

We changed to unlimited :(

Ohhh - you got the Pay now or pay really big later program.

Yes I do,
But I have a family plan with 4 of us on it. So it is really reasonable. Only $10 per month for the extra lines. Then we split the cost of what the plan is with my older kids :) I am still paying for my share of my daughters (14) and Coltons right now. As a matter of fact I was thinking about now that he has a job, he should start paying his own phone share. I just wanted him to get out of BC and get A school started.

Agreed, I'm thinking of bumping Nick off my plan too and then he pointed out to me...well, you still have Grandpa on your plan - he's not too old to be on the family plan!
It's so sweet, my dad is 78 years old and agreed to a cell phone just in case of an emergency but he won't let me pay the bill so every month he sends me a fresh $10 bill with a note that he loves us. I keep his notes every month! And I call and tell him that he bought my lunch that day and that makes him even more happy.

That is precious
I am surprised you got him to use a cell phone, When I would hand my mom the cell phone she would talk into it like a walkie-talkie ! -

Actually a comment from a son would be nice. But I did hear from three out of four sons. Mary you will get yours soon. You are the only person I know whose son is also AE/CF.
