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 fiancee is also on that ship and div. I got a call also on Sunday but it was super short and all business. Did you son get to talk for awhile or was it short also? I am just trying to decide if my call was the 3 week call or just a getting information call.

Hello group,
My husband is ship 14 div 343. He will be attending A school is in GL. We just celebrated our one year wedding anniversary on 9/10. He got special permission to call me on our anniversary, it was a short (7 minute) phone call but it was very nice to hear his voice. I can't wait to get more phone calls and letters from him. Can't wait to go to PIR next month :]

Got a letter today. Dated 5 days after the one I received yesterday so a little more current. Talked about shining his boots and ironing his clothes. Too funny! He didn't put away his folded laundry for the past year. What a difference a few weeks makes. Studying hard for an upcoming test.
