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 read the same thing. Today? It wasn't yesterday. My phone has become my new best friend, I don't go anywhere with out it. Went out for dinner with my Mom last night and she said to put the phone on the table, not in my purse. That's a first. That would make my day!

He is going to be at Great Lakes for "A" school, so he will still be close enough for us to see him. I'm not sure if he will get to call today, the last call I got was last Monday morning, it was a real quick call and he did say that the next time he would call he would get a longer time.

If I don't get a phone call today I think I will explode!!

No call either today, even though he said he would call on Sunday. Hopefully the Division is doing everything expected, otherwise none of them will get to call! anyway, I'm not a fan of the scarf, boa, or t-shirt thing. I do believe that my son would freak out and be embarrassed! also, remember it's about them and their accomplishment and not about their mommas!
