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."

I hope they get some time this evening after dinner to call. The calls come at some really random times. But if it were in the middle of the night I would still answer as chipper as if I were awake...waiting, lol. This is way beyond obsessive now. I need to find something else to do, lol! But the gravity of the laptop is stronger than I and alas, I cannot free myself from it, lol.

Has shamelessly gone from stalking the various mail carriers in the neighborhood to trying to will the phone to ring. But now I am stalking other women on N4M to find out if they have received calls! LOL!!! Omg...I am going to need a week or two in the nut hut after all of this! hahahahahha

@louann- booking flights is not as bad as it may seem. If you have AAA you can get the best discount, from what I have found anyway. Also, if you have more than one option for airport to fly out of, check them both. Expedia had the best rate when I booked, and they include all fees, except checked bags. Remember that they deduct the money immediatley for flights, unlike reserving a hotel. Some airlines require you to check in 24 hours (online) before your flight leaves, so print and read throught the instructions. Once you book your flight, go to the airlines website and look up their baggage specifications and any other FAQ's. Hope this helps a little.

Congrats on the phone calls! Oh I know that made your day! Does anyone know what time they eat supper? I wonder if they get to call afterwards!

Well, there's hope for us other 300 divisions! LOL My son told me, if he were to go in the Service, he wouldn't call home, he said it would be harder on him to talk..... I bet he would change his mind if he was REALLY in LOL
