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."

Praying for your calls..my son did say that there were only about 30 phones, so I assume some calls will come later or even tomorrow!!

I'm so happy for you all, I haven't heard anything yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Congratulations to those who have gotten their calls. Decided to check the battery life of mine, and even though it was "ok". I decided to plug it in. Then I put the plugged in phone in my pocket so I can't get too far from it. Anxiously waiting. It's great to hear how they're doing. So excited.

I got my call too...Mine sounded good. Said he thought about quitting the first week because he missed everyone so bad, but after that its been cake.Much easier than he thought it would be. I was able to talk to my SR for about 15 minutes before he was told it was time to go. They had marched to the NEX together to make phone calls. Also said the division got their first academic flag today as they all scored 4.0 and higher on a test. We are almost half way there, moms!!
