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."

The last call I missed but my husband was here came in around 2:15 in the afternoon. I imagine they will call at various times since there are 72 guys. I know my son was happy to get a hold of someone but said he could talk too long as there were a line of guys behind him. I just told my kids I am stickin by all phones all day ;)

I also heard a rumor about a phone call tomorrow. I'll take a call anytime from my son, but I hope it comes before the evening as we're going to be at my younger son's high school graduation tomorrow night. It's not till 7:30 and I don't think they'll call that late.....do you?

Thanks for the prayers everyone. I just know that our "kids" will be okay. By the way, be close to your phones tomorrow afternoon. I have it from a very reliable source that they will be making phone calls tomorrow. I'm not expecting a call because I know my son will want to call his boys. They miss him so much but we had fun with them this weekend. We even wrote letters to Daddy and let the boys mail them. Can't believe in less than 30 days, we'll be seeing them.

Yes, Kyles mom and everyone who is praying for our boys and girls...Thank You! Hugs to all.
