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."

Congrats on being able to talk to your son. My SR's girlfriend got the call since it was her birthday. She was so excited. She said they are all doing good so let's hope we get the call soon.

I realized it was a holiday weekend, but I didn't think about it delaying the departure day. My SR wrote that he and half his div would leave Sat for P'cola. Whether that's good info or not I'm not sure. We haven't gotten a letter in over a week so don't have any current info. :) wouldn't it be great if we had an extra day with them? :)

Yes it would, but based on my luck, my SR will be one of the ones leaving on Saturday lol.
