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 know me too!! It was nice to talk to him for 30mins, and to hear everything is going really well. I also got 6 letters, so I would definitely say today was a good day :)))

I got a call from my son last night too! It was only 15 minutes long, but he had to call his dad and girlfriend as well. He is still loving it. That is such a relief to hear. He hasn’t gotten used to the weather yet though. He says one day it’s in the 90’s the next day in the 50’s. He’s from Arizona and Florida where it is hot, hotter or unbelievably hot. LOL

I got a call yesterday, too! It was while I was on my way back from our nearest Navy base to get my military ID/tricare etc. It was only for 19 minutes but it was nice. Supposedly the division isn't doing all that great from what he was saying. I guess there are a hand full of slackers bringing our boys down :( But he said he as an individual is doing really well, so that's good.

Remember not to share too much info here about the nature of your calls and letters... things have a way of getting back to the division that could affect their "qualify of life" while they are there.

I AGREE!! I was on there too and I answered the question in less than 20seconds of it being posted and my answer didnt show up. I was sooo frustrated! maybe if we all keep trying sooner or later we will get it. I search the random pictures every day too in hopes of catching a glimpse of the hubby.
