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."

Even though he had "ears" listening, it was better than nothing! I could tell by his voice that he was good. I feel like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders :) Susan

Susan,
That is awsome that you were able to hear his voice and at least give him a word of encouragement. Good for you!! :0) I hope to get something soon, the box or letter, I haven't recieved either. Hopefully soon. I will be sure to let you all know.

Just got a phone call!!! It was security questions, but I got to talk to him!!! He said he is good and is getting enough sleep. When I tried to ask more he said "Umm Mom, this can't really be a personal call" LOL I told him that I hope his division is doing good and that he can make a personal call soon. He chuckled. I have to say he honestly sounded great!
