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."

Alli I'm so glad you wanted to hang with us, I can't wait till you get your call. It will be awsome. I was working the ER yesterday andhad my cell on the desk. Everyone knew I was waiting for the call, when it rang we all looked down and saw the area code and everyone cheered, I grabbed it and ran outside. I said hello and he said "Hi Mom I'm your sailor" Well the flood gates opened.

Hi everyone, just got home from work, and I know that Molly passed along I have a "sailor" It's a wonderful feeling to get that call! I asked him what it was like to put his hat on and he said "amazing" I'm so proud, can't wait for all of you to get your call.

Just got off the phone with my 2nd sailor! He was very tired, up since 5 am yesterday. If they all stay awake the RDCs will let them go to bed early tonight. Talked to him about 30 minutes. got to talk to my 1st sailor this morning for about a hour. He just got back to Japan from Hawaii.

Ladies I'm working ER today so I won't be able to check in until tonight, but, I hope many of you get that special sailor call today and I want to hear all about them.

I'm with you Bradsmom, woke up 100 times last night and just prayed for Daniel and all our sons, and daughters. They are doing great! Ij ust want that call to confirm, just think they could be wearing their Navy ball caps today! Oh the tears are flowing. lol good ones though

My husband had a great thought. Do a reverse look up on the phone number. Go to whitepages.com and then reverse lookup. If its Navy it should come up as USN.

If they didn't identify them selves as Navy I do not believe it was. I would not give any info out about your son to anyone unless they can prove they are Navy.

When your husband called the number back did he identify himself as Navy? I don't think your son is being held back or he would have called. What concerns me is he know your names and your sons name. Why wouldn't he just tell your husband why they called? It would bother the stew out of me, but I would just chill for the night. Molly will be on in the morning.
