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."

I am not sure what that means. Is that the position stemming from the contract? If so, hull technician. We (and he) received no paperwork.

Yes, that is his job. I don't think that they/we will get any info on the job. My son wanted to be AO, Airman Ordinanceman. But he wouldn't ship out until May 2nd. He really just wanted to get going so he agreed to go in under PACT Airman or A-PACT. Means he is undesignated. He will learn about each Airman position and then choose (after passing test and if that position is available). It can make his first few years more difficult, but hopefully it all goes smoothly.

All the websites I looked at said the calls would be about 2 min. On here I saw between 10 sec and 30 sec. I really wasn't prepared either. As soon as he finished, before he said goodbye, I tried to get in as many I love yous as I could.

rrmrm, it will get easier once you get The Form Letter and can send those letters you've been writing and will actually have a date to plan for.
I left info for you on your My Page.

Hi rrmrm, welcome! It's awful right now but they say it gets easier, still waiting for that part. Writing is definitely helping, and I can't wait to be able to send the letters!
