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."

When they do call will it be on the Navy's dime or will they need a calling card? We haven't received a phone call yet, just the first letter on Thursday. If anyone received a call what area code showed up?

My son just called me at 3:11 p.m. He's doing great. He said the first two weeks he felt yucky because of all of the shots. He said the food is awesome! Had his wisdom teeth pulled (glad I didn't know ahead of time!!!). I told him 4 weeks from tomorrow we'll see him!! Talked about 10 to 12 minutes. He said he really doesn't mind boot camp at all. That made me feel so much better!!
