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 understand it takes about 2 days to get there from where we are, but she should be there. Any advice from other moms on here about getting aphone call when they fly out to meet ship already out? I know in my mind she is ok but my heart REALLY needs a phone call!!
