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."

So I'm pretty sure that my SR is the only guy who hasn't called anyone yet. The letters that he sends are absolutely amazing. I received an amazing letter yesterday from him, but his parents didn't and it made me feel just a little guilty. In his letter he didn't mention anything about being able to make a phone call. Would there be a reason that he wouldn't call? I'm so happy for everyone who has received a call from their SR, but it's a bit painful knowing that we haven't heard from him yet.

If he has a leadership position it could be that he wasn't given time do to duties that he may have had. He also could have been assigned watch when the division was permitted time for calls. Someone is always on watch duty. Hang in there. He will call as soon as he is given an opportunity.

Finally got a call from my boyfriend! 2 minutes and 41 seconds and I couldn't be happier to hear his voice. I'm so glad he was finally able to call.

Today is my birthday, not holding my breath, but wouldn't it be a great birthday present to get a phone call from my son. I still haven't received one yet. Would love to hear his voice today :) Hope everyone has a great day!!

I got a letter today from my son :) He had told me he was going to call last Thursday, but didn't, just found out he got four of his wisdom teeth pulled which is the reason why he couldn't call then. He said he gets to call soon, so I am patiently waiting.

I got a letter from my boyfriend today and he said something that bothered me. Have any of your guys in Div. 370 said that they won't have much time after PIR to spend with you? I don't know when they get their exact orders about when they fly out to A school, but I can't imagine that it's in the middle of BC. Have you ladies heard anything from your guys about after PIR?
