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 wish I had an answer for you, but since I'm a SR mother and not a spouse I can't help.  Is there a discussion group on here for spouses? If so maybe you could ask there.
Well 3 weeks down!  Since this is their 3rd week, hopefully they will be allowed to call us over the weekend!  We need to keep sending our SR's words of encouragement to keep them mentally strong.  They are already obviously physically strong from all the extra IT they have been receiving :-)
My SR's going to have so much mail next sat it's ridiculous it's his birthday an he's got cards coming from my mom's dogs lol
I finally got a letter today and he said that you HAVE to keep writing them! It means the world to them and some even read their letters four or five times a day. =)
Are his comments similar to the others that have already been shared?  Congratulations - the mailman must have walked the letter from IL!!!!  I hope he was in good spirits overall...
I'm really glad you got your letter!!! he say the same thing lots of pushups lol
5 weeks or 33 days left ladies!!!! Doesn't seem near as long now !!!! We can do it!!!
YAY
33 days sounds way better than 5 weeks :)

Does anyone know if we can expect a phone call today???????

we can hope but theres no way of knowing and from  what we understand there staying in trouble so probably not
I'd say it's probably not going to happen but keep those phones on you. Calls can come at any time. I got one the first Sunday at 4pm my time, (6pm theirs) and I was in the store.
