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."

Josh's mom, I know how you felt. I've been carrying the phone around with me too! I caught the first phone call, but this one surprised me because in the last letter he told me he would be calling us on the 29th. Sounds like your son is doing great! My son sound tired, but is loving bc.

I am so glad some of you are getting calls. Tiffs mom, i had tears in my eyes reading your post. She sounds like she is very much like my daughter. I hope everyone else gets a call this weekend. Now I am off to make more ribbons and supervise my fiancee's teen girls who I have now taught to make TuTu's lol. Halloween is coming and we have orders to fill. Oh course, now that they know how to make them they each want one.

Hey, my son is on Ship 13 div 327. We received a call today from our son, but missed it. He did leave us a voicemail, so it was nice hearing his voice, but sad we didn't get to talk to him.
