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."

We got a letter yesterday too, but he didn't say anything about phone calls. When I talked to him on the 3rd he said he thought they would be able to call last Sat. but we didn't hear from him. I hope the no phone calls until BS is just a rumor but I guess we'll have to wait and see... :(
His letter sounded awesome though! He said they were getting closer as a division and morale was climbing as they were getting closer to graduation. Sounds like they are working together well and kicking it!

I think it's still on the 9th. I haven't purchased the tickets yet. He said to wait until he said it's ok to buy tickets. But no matter what by the end of next week i will purchase the tickets.
