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 think one of the hardest things for me was going to the supermarket. I would see the things I would usually buy for him but now of course pass by them. That killed me and here I am looking like some weirdo in the isle sobbing in front of the trail mix. Who is this freak you better call an ambulance.

actually, if they use RTC phone to call, it is 847-688-xxxx. But if they use their phone card, it may not be 847. I get a call from my son with 312 area code. Just be aware that we have several local area code in Chicago area: 847, 224, 312, 773, 630, 708, I may miss some.
