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."

Oh, I'm not the only one. I was on the PIR board on FB and Division 11 was listing everyone calling last Thursday and I was completely bummed that I hadn't gotten another call. We had one his first weekend there and again the following weekend and nothing since. It's making me crazy not knowing why he didn't get to call last week. I'm choosing to believe he was on watch or on duty with the Ship Staff and simply couldn't make it. Here's to both of us getting a call soon!

Hi ladies,
I too have been seriously stressing out....! I received calls from my son the 1st and 2nd weekend but have yet to hear from him since. His birthday was the 24th and I was sure I would hear from him that weekend but I didn't :( (very disappointed). He sends me a letter at least once a week but I would love to be able to talk to him(by the way his letters are about 4 sentences long...lol). He has never been much for writing so I am grateful to get that much. Well hears to hoping we all hear from our children soon!!!

I didn't get any calls for the first 2 weeks then I did 2 Saturday's in a row then the following Wednesday but nothing since. It's been a week and a 1/2 now and driving me crazy. I guess I should feel lucky I've gotten that much but it's still really hard not knowing how he is. Last call he said they've been getting yelled at a lot so hopefully it's gotten better.
