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."

My call was from my son's cell phone. He also said he would talk to me in 3 weeks - he sounded like he was reading it from a card....

It's great to know they are all there :).....and that they are busy,busy,busy.
I have a feeling it will be a long night for all of them :)
I'm hoping that we will get another phone call from our son... it is that 15 sec.phone call that I've been thinking about and preparing for all day!

Just got my phone call...I'm crying...happy tears!!!
He said he got there and everything is fine, and to expect the next phone call in 3 weeks!
It was 15 sec. and awesome!
He was using his cell phone again just like from the airport.
I have a feeling that with alot of recruits arriving they let them use their cell and just listen to the phone call.

my boyfriend arrived in Chicago not too long ago & just got on the bus. Cell phone usage is apparently not allowed on the bus. I am now waiting for the phone call....(at which point I will call his mom & let her know he's alive). we're from Texas.

My son also left on the 16th from Mechanicsburg, PA....we heard from him last night saying he was there. I also had a rough day yesterday, crying at the drop of a hat. the call we got made me feel so much better. Once I can start writing and here from him I will be able to judge how he is doing. I am so proud of him, but he is my baby and only 18yrs. It feels like and empty house and he has only been gone two days. I guess keeping busy will be the best I can do for now.
