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."

Well, I got my first ever deployment phone call. It was static filled, garbled, and sound like...well...like he was far far away in the middle of a fish tank! We got a few words in, lasted only about 6 minutes before we were disconnected. I think I do better with emails.

Im still waiting on pictures of my son as well. I have old band videos, maybe I should follow your lead Diane and play them again!!
