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."

So happy for you! You have to be so excited. I actually just logged on to ask about the 3 week phone call. Just curious to know if there is any rhyme or reason to when it might come around that 3 week mark. My son shipped out June 11th so it will be 3 weeks Monday. Just got the form letter yesterday. Which thank you all for the advice to sign up for the Informed Delivery. Though it made for a long day at work!:)
