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 son got another phone call tonight! So TKE got to talk to him and so did his sister. I feel so much better! He said he was exhausted so that's why he isn't writing so much. They keep getting beat so he's not too happy about that! Whew...I can sleep tonight. Sooo glad he got another call :-)

-they could be doing 'moment of truth scenerios' one of our friends who's currently in A School said that, sometimes they begin to test out truth with the recruits. past experiences, or anything they "may" have forgotten to mention before they even swore in.... i could be way wrong, but i hope everything works out, and no one gets sent home!!!!

My son said in his letter last week (to his wife LOL) that next phone call would be tomorrow...so I think we should know tomorrow! Are you guys going to Meet/Greet? Our flight doesn't get in until 4'ish so I'm thinking it's gonna be after 6 by the time we hit Great Lakes.

Are you going to the Anastasia's meet/greet? We are staying at Quality Inn - I think. I can't find the piece of paper I wrote the stuff down on. I'm getting a little scattered the closer we get...I hope to be totally organized this weekend. I freaked out over the weekend cause I couldn't find all the letters my son has written me - eventually found them in a closet I absolutely don't remember putting them in...my husband thinks I'm losing it - LOL. Hopefully we will know BS today! Crossing fingers for phone calls!

Well, last time it was around 1 my time, which is 3 your time :-) I hope it's not earlier...I have a test in class from 10:15-11:30 and I won't be able to take it if he calls then! I'm a nervous wreck between my test and anticipation of the call! But...he may just call TKE...if he gets an hour, hopefully he will call both of us!
