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."

Me too! She is going well. Likes it so far. She sounds so mature, well after she got the tears under control. She says not to worry she's doing good. So happy!

@Jma we are moms. We have a right to be nervous and worried.

read Division 268 got calls yesterday so for us it could mean any day but I am guessing Thursday, so we will see what happens

Corina, you are so right. I'm a helicopter/ suppository mom. ( always hovering/ up the butt) always knowing what he was doing, who he was with etc.... To me this is torture, communication black out. Although I know where he is, and who he is with, I'm so used to talking to him every day!

We are getting ready to drive from Phoenix to Redding CA. Lots of dead spots for my cell. I'm hoping that I don't miss the call if we get one. Kinda stressed over that.

Oh okay that would be nice if he was able to buy one. I think I will still put one in the mail just in case...Thank you so much for the info.

he may have bought one while there, I heard they get $150 when they get there to spend and their needs and that may be one of them because they can buy stamps and stuff too.
