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."

He was out and about in town.I'm assuming it was the phone. It wasn't a video call...just a telephone call but it was sure clear over our computer. He had spoken to his wife then she called us to let us know he was trying to get ahold of us...so we ran to the computer and accepted contact request. The bus was just picking them up to take them back to the ship and he said we might get cut off and we sure did quickly...had less than a minute with him but it sure put a smile on our faces!

Great, they have Skype on the ship or was it on your sons lap top?

It's been wonderful to have been able to "visit" occasionally with the sailor over Facebook...but got a Skype call from him today for a few seconds...he sure loves Spain and is having a great time! Hope your sailors are too!
