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."

Hi Cathie & Teresa. We have not received our phone call either. I am going with the no news is good news. The recruits are kept so busy between studying, watch, duties, sleeping and dinner times....they are quite busy. I have my cell phone glued to my body. They have already completed three weeks. Best to you and your families.

My heart is a flutter.....seeing that some of you got calls, I checked my phone and I DIDNT HAVE SIGNAL....DANG METAL BUILDING WHERE I WORK!!! ARRGGGGHHHH I would be soooo upset to find out he tried to call and I didnt even get the missed call!
Of course, I guess maybe it is better to not know than to cry when I miss it!!
