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."

Has anyone else made their reservations yet? I can't wait! Do you think they will be able to call on Thanksgiving? Someone told my son that they were only allowed to call a land line and not a cell number. Does anyone if that is true? I just hate to miss that phone call!

I think that if they call collect from a payphone, that it has to be a landline, cause cell phones don't allow collect calls. If they have a calling card, then it doesn't matter what phone they call to.

I got call forwarding on my landline right before my husband left. If I leave the house I forward the landline to my cell phone so I won't miss his calls. I was hoping for a call today for Thanksgiving too. My phone rang this morning and I raced to get it - saw on the caller Id it was my mother- my heart sank. (Sorry, Mom- I miss you too!) I have heard from several people including my husband's recruiter that calls are usually allowed only on Sundays. I have my fingers and toes crossed for this Sunday.
I too am not having an easy time with him being away. I am hardly eating anything-lost 5 lbs since he left on 1/17. I don't sleep much either, I wait until I'm dead tired to go to bed in hopes I'll sleep all night. I end up waking up around 5-5:30 am and can't go back to sleep. I'm OK if I'm at work or with people and can eat a little bit then. It's when I'm alone that it's so hard.
Oh.. my husband is Ship 13, div 061 PIR 1/15. I made the plane reservation but not the hotel yet -
