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."

Just got the phone call. He only had a few minutes. They were supposed to get a 30 min call but it got cut down to 10 min. He did get to talk to his boys though and I'm thankful for that. He didn't sound good so maybe I was better off not talking to him. Stay by your phones ladies. The calls are coming.

Hey Ladies. No letter for me today either. Don't give up on the phone calls yet. I know that I want get one so I'm not going to plan on one. I've only had one letter other than the form letter. I thought it would get easier the longer they were gone but it's getting tougher. Trying to stay positive though. July 1st isn't that far off.

What has the Navy done to us?? Its turned us all into mailman and phone stalkers!! Great to hear about all of your letters Kyles mom, WOW 4 in one day! I'm still waiting for my first one.......but glad to hear that no one has gotten phone calls yet today that means none of us are left out and there is still hope of them coming in all at once later today. Can't wait to hear about each of yours. My son will probably call his girlfriend, so I'm counting on your news! I can't believe how attached I have gotten to all of you and 'our' boys.
