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."

Mine too. He kept changing subjects so fast it was hard to follow! lol The only time he stopped talking was when he started crying after our 2 yr old yelled 'hi dada' into the phone!! So glad our son was there, so he got a chance to talk to his dad. I know he misses him so much too!!
