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."

Slight releif--pain increases with exercise. He said the division did awesome on a written test and they earned a flag!! It was a very quick call. but he quietly whispered christmas eve 3-5pm keep your cell close! :) Hope everyone gets their calls ! soooo happy!

My daughter in law got her call from my son tonight. Only 3 minutes but it was enough for her to hear his voice. His Division had a 10 day dead period? I cant remember what that is but doesnt sound good. I hope this still keeps them on track for PIR 01/18. Also mentioned Christmas Eve call. Crossing fingers for her. Not enough time to call her and mom so I will experience it with all of you and her:)

I'm sorry you missed your call. It's tough when you just dont know when that time will be. Maybe the message will be something you can at least listen to when you want to hear his voice? Not happy he sounded stressed I know how that pulls on our hearts. Hang in there, you will get your call and when you do make sure you let us know:)
