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."

If your SR last name beginning with H there is a message from a mom on the PIR 09-12-14 page related from her son as to why he hasn't called with the group. Please go to that Facebook page :)

Yes I think its much harder on me than it is on my boy as well!! He seems to be enjoying himself and enjoying this experience which is awesome I just miss him a ton and don't like having to share my phone calls with his girlfriend...hahaha. It does sting a little because I want to talk to him however, I completely understand.

Hi Tonysmom--I can really understand. His first weekend phone call last Saturday was to girlfriend. I was very glad she told me he called and I acted all great with it and all, but inside it hurt. He'll never know that though. (us moms must act really strong). He told her to tell me that if allowed a call later on Sunday it would be to me. Nice thought but didn't happen. Was just glad she said he sounded good.

So apparently my SE called his dad yesterday. Looks like I won't be getting a call. Funny thing is his dad is on the private Facebook message board and never said a word to me about the calls. I guess this is going to be the mist frustrating part of it all... Who gets the call and is the other communicating? I got a call I contacted his dad immediately. I got a letter I scanned and emailed it to the rest of the fam. They get a call and nothing! Sorry to vent just disappointed I didn't hear from my son.
