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 thought I was going to get a phone call this past weekend but it did not happen. Did anyone get a phone call from division 902?

I did not either. But I have seen other divisions with the same PIR making calls home, so it could come at any time. Let me know if you get a call and I will do the same.

I was sure this would be weekend for a phone call too! No such luck. We did receive letters, I have to say they sounded exactly like I expected.

Hi all we have received two phone calls. The first was on the 21st. Our son had the shiniest boots so he received a priviledged phone call home. I wasn't home so my husband talked to him.. He had told him that he would be calling home again sometime that week. Received the call on the 22nd. So happy to hear his voice. We live in Ohio anyone else in the area? We are planning to stay up with our son until 11-25-2012. To my understanding, the ones that are not on the drumline call Flags. Hope to hear or get another letter soon. We are empty nester and the quiet time is really hard. We are hanging in.. So proud of our son!!!!

Hang in there dip! This whole boot camp thing is so tuff on us parents. But when I get weepy and feeling sorry for myself because I miss him sooooo much, I remember it must be so much harder on him. The no contact thing is the worst. We are from Michigan. My son is on flags. He carries California. Can't wait til Thursday....that's when his letters show up!
