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."

So glad you got your call too! I agree it was unexpected. I am glad you got the call today if you are not sure about getting one on Wed.
We will surely post on here but can you reload his card? That is what my husband did today with the card we gave our son - he called collect because there were not enough minutes left for the call to even go through! So he should be able to call again with his card on Wed.
Have a great weekend! We will see you NEXT weekend!

No call for us yet. Did everyone get their calls already?
-

Well, we didn't get a call. I did hear that everyone passed so I am assuming that he had watch and couldn't call us. We head out tomorrow morning for our 9 hr drive. Hope to see you all at meet and greet but if we don't make it on time I will see you Friday!!! ; )

We got our call late this afternoon. My son said everyone passed & he was exhausted!! We took my youngest son out for his birthday after the call & just got a chance to get on here & post! I had problems trying to print our boarding passes :( ..finally got it all done with the help of my daughter & niece. We are heading out of PA tomorrow around 6pm est. Hope to see you all there :)
*mysailorson~I hope you hear from him soon. At least you know he passed & is ok! They say no news is good news!!

I didn't get to meet any of you graduation weekend :( We got to the hotel late & the meet & greet was over. I did meet 2 moms at the hotel though. It was a nice weekend but very hectic. I'm glad we stayed the extra day even though our sailor left sat morning. We definitely were sleep deprived! Unfortunately, we brought home a nasty virus( I believe from the plane) & have just finally recovered this weekend. Still not 100% though. It's so nice to be able to talk & text now. My son is waiting for more sailors to start A school The class is not full yet. How is everyone else????

So good to hear from you! I think I caught a glimpse of you as you got up and left the building with all the honor graduate families who left before us. I also did not get to meet anyone that I "knew" from N4M's. I met some nice people though. We spent Sat at the airport with our sailor. His flight was not until late in the afternoon. He is also waiting for his A school to start. His start date is April 18th. At least he is in a nice place to wait, San Diego.
BTW, I love your new pic!

TY I love that pic too. A lot of them did not turn out. I was a nervous wreck trying to work a camera & a video camera! There are a few more on my page + I'm going to add a few more. They need to be approved though. Great to hear from you both!!
