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 haven't received any phone calls yet. Is Sunday the only day they can call?

I saw people getting calls on Saturday too, but yeah Sunday is the norm. Every other day is dedicated to training.

I got a couple letters from my boyfriend as well. It was so good to hear he had gotten my letters, and fast too! :-) He sounds good, but is so ready to get back to our little family being together again (which makes me smile). he didn't say much about training except that he will be a stick leader, but I'm ok with that. All I want to know is if he's ok. Glad you got letters today too!

Same with my boyfriend. He sounded like the same man he was when he left and he told me that he would be. His love is still strong which keeps me going.
