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 am happy you got your first real letter and completely understand how good it is to hear from your loved, same feeling here. It makes the unknown almost bearable. I am praying that every SR in 7/358 has the opportunity to write letters home this Sunday. :)

I got the same type of call. I asked SR if this was a "good" call he said yes, (couldn't tell by his voice). He said he has a cold. He also said they are going to be a "strong" division - I think that means they are doing a lot of push-ups etc.? Hope you can take some comfort that your SR earned a call although it was too short. Hope the division earns longer calls.
One of the last things I learned before he had to quickly hang up was that many were having a hard time figuring out how to make a collect call wasting precious minutes or seconds of their time. Hoping for a long letter for everyone in 7/358. Donna
