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."

Got the phone call this morning, annnnndddd missed it. Message, "everything is going well, maybe I'll be able to call back later." Main thing is he sounded upbeat, and everything is going along.
And, which facebook site is this? Link? Thanks

I didn't recognize the number at first and rejected the call. So thankful the call came back through. Wasn't expecting a call until a couple more weeks.

Has anyone received any other phone calls or letters recently? Everyone hanging in there? I'm waiting by my cell at all times right now! Only 38 more days to go, Moms! :)

I haven't got a call yet. I ran to the grocery store this afternoon and forgot it. I realized it when I got there. I prayed the entire 10 minutes I was gone from home that I wouldn't miss a call. I didn't miss any, thank goodness.

Minonkgirl, I think the same thing anytime I get up and leave my cell at my desk at work! I don't want to miss that call!

Got my second letter today. I feel so much better. His first letter he was pretty down, and was wondering what the hell he had gotten himself into. Today's letter was more upbeat, and I know he is OK. He said he missed both phone call opportunities. The first he was SIQ after having a wisdom tooth pulled. The second one he was on watch. I am elated to see he is happy. Last week, was miserable with worry.
