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."

Got my call late yesterday afternoon. My son's voice has never sounded so sweet! :) I can't wait to see him next month. :D
Looks like I will be driving out on the 11th with my daughter and her fiance. It's a 16+ hour drive so doubt I will make it to the meet-n-greet. :(
Although I don't typically have much time to correspond, I enjoy reading other's comments and find these forums very helpful. Thanks everyone.
Hope you are all doing well. Less than 29 days now!!!! :)

Girl- I still havent gotten my call and only 2 letters. My son is in 11/331 as you know but... I would imagine the calls come around the same time?

I'm glad you got a bunch of letters and they are upbeat. yes! thats a good way to think of it, in terms of how many fridays are left. Sounds much better. I'm also afraid my son wont know how to use his calling card, lol. If you think about it, calling cards are kinda old school and I bet they are calling from old school pay phones.

I was afraid my daughter would not be able to use the card but she did it just fine. I know it is easy to worry but don't they will figure it out just fine. I am sure they have read the directions a million times. lol
