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."

I know the last time all the div got to call home my fiance was on his assigned job and didn't get to call so plz don't get down b3kranch he may just be busy it'll be okay! I'm sure he misses you a lot too but we are almost to graduation! That's why I was grateful I got the one call he made Friday to me ! I kinda know in the back of my head he won't get to call me today or when the other guys get to call home ! Sorry to those who didn't get a call or missed it but happy for those who got their calls!

6 letters but still no call. It is so hard. Only 18 days to go. Still not sure about what happens next. Hopefully when I see him in person he can tell me. Thanks for all the information it sure helps fill in the many blanks left in his letters.

It was going really fast, I think it helps me to keep busy and stay out of the house, but I feel like my world started going in slow motion after not getting a call.

Everything is slower now..... it's strange. It seems like it went fast in the beginning but now that I'm waiting on letters, my days drag by.

Ladies, this is what I did to make me feel better today...I just mailed my son an envelope with Paper,envelopes,bandages,stamps....and of course sealed it with moms love... I sent enough paper and bandages for him to share...in case others need any...also I sent a card with 12 calling cards for my son to share with SR's that didn't have any...I didn't want no more moms to miss out on calls ...If this is the reason...
