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'm so excited, do you know if they will be getting a call before Thursday? Or has your SR not said.

He hasn't said if they are getting a call before Thursday but I'm sure they are. The RCD's seem like they are very generous with their phone calls :) Hoping for one today, I have my fingers crossed.

I keep my phone all the time. They're scheduled to make another call on the 11th too. My husband was saying that it was their only "scheduled" phone call. And all of these other ones have been reward calls.
