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."

Hey all!  My son shipped Oct 4th.  I have gotten two letters in addition to the form letter.   But, I have not gotten a phone call.  I desperately want to hear his voice.  Are we the only ones that have not gotten a call?  I have hotel reservations made already for PIR.  I can't wait to see him again!

So, I just received my letter, and my son is saying that only friday for visitation after gradutation.  Has anyone else heard what the weekend is going to be like?  I thought we had all weekend, from friday to sunday.  Can you help me on this/  Thanks

Is there a website that can give us up to date information on how this all works?

I feel terrible. I missed my son's phone call today. I had an errand to run and forgot my phone at home. During that time he apparantly called and left 2 messages. He was upset and crying. It broke my heart to hear him cry. I hope he is oaky. I have been waiting all month for his call and I missed it. I feel like such a bad mom right now. I dont think he will be able to call again until he finished the battlesations. Im so upset............
