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."

Nothing with the exception of the "I'm here" call. I hear that's a good thing for the most part though. I'm not expecting more than one phone call sometime mid-way through. I don't want to get my hopes up and from everything I've read the phone calls are pretty few and far between.
