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."

Most calling cards allow the area code of the calls origination.
I got the same impression that calls were not going to be much of an option with the way things were going. But that was a week ago too and they may have gotten it together and started to gel a bit so that they can call home. I hope I hear something this week but I am not going to be crushed if I don't. Not much we can do but sit on our thumbs and wait. -

Waiting ..... seems like we do a lot of that here lately! lol Well I am not going to lie and say I am not disappointed, but I do realize that I am not the one in control either. So I guess I will wait to see if I get a letter Wednesday! I think I might start cleaning out his room! I am going to be moving the computer in there and making a newt tank to go in there too. So I have plenty to keep be busy while I wait. lol

I started cleaning out Michael's room last week. We just finished today. It was a hard process as he is my first to leave home. He always had the "cool" room with the bathroom so his middle brother is moving in there.
