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."

Sorry, it is not a federal holiday, so nothing special except the usual Sunday relaxed routine, a nice meal, and they may go to services if they choose. There are thousands of SRs at Great Lakes, so getting them all to the phone banks to make calls for Easter is unlikely.
Not impossible, still, more likely you'll get a call at the three week mark.

Ok thanks AntiM. I'm not expecting much just thought I'd ask hahahha. We knew we wouldn't talk for a while but I realized (I guess I blocked it out) that Easter was coming.

Hey, it could happen. Not "hold your breath" going to happen, but there is a very long shot. How do you do on the lottery?

Do the numbers:
8 Training Groups X 10 Divisions per TG X 80 Recruits per Div = approximately 6,400 calls
There aren't enough phones or hours in the day. Sorry, but don't bet the farm.

I woke up thinking the same thing - wondering if they would have an opportunity to call on Easter. My son left on the 24th. Finding the hardest part is not talking to him. Didn't realize how much we chatted and scooted around town. Can't wait for the letter so I can buy plane tickets and booked the hotel. Won't hold my breath but will have phone near by just in case!
