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."

WOW he got a lot of time! Tiff only had 10 minutes to talk.... so much I wish I had asked her... it was so hard to hear, I'm still wondering if I talked to her... now for some stupid reason I can't stop crying... not sure if it was because she was crying or I'm happy or what... maybe menopausal??

Wondering when the 046 will be heard from again. I don't know if it should be the big deal it is when I hear from SF but it is. No mail, no calls since last Thurs. I am getting so weepy. Everything makes me miss him. Come on 10/1.

havent been on fo a few days. boy everyone has been busy chatting. i received a call yesterday at work. i was so shocked and happy did not even know what to say. he sounded so much better than the first call. no tears this time, just from me when I hung up. I was so disappointed that there wasnt a call on Sunday, i cried like the day he left. said he was getting our letters now and they were helping with the homesickness. glad to hear that others got calls too. CONGRATS!!

OMG I just received a call from my SR. Sounded great when he stopped crying (I said it is okay to cry I always said a man has a right to cry too, doesn't make them any less of a man). BTW it is 7:15 pm here in Puerto Rico. He said it is hard emotionally the missing of family - friends is the hardest. He said he will succeed.
Reeniegalla - what a lovely post. Yes they will have quite a mix of personalities that will have to mold together as one. i know that they will do it.
Congrats to all getting their phone calls - it is great. The rest - be assured they are on the way.
