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 finally got a call from my son! There was static on his line as well and he had to call back. I'm very glad he could get through. He is terribly homesick, but he did let me know where he would be at PIR. Says he does not think the food is very good. He wants more letters, so will be writing daily, even if it's only short notes or cartoons with comments. I'm so grateful to have heard his voice as it's been almost a month since I've heard him!

Yay!!! My nephew called today from BC. He is doing much better. He said the letters he received from the whole family helped him a lot. He got his wisdom teeth pulled, that is why he didnt call last week. I feel so relieved that I finally heard his voice.

Got our 2nd call at 5pm tonight. :) My husband got to talk to him for 15 minutes. Says the food is great, but he's not getting much sleep. Up till midnight, up at 5am. And he DID write me a letter last week, he just missed the mail deadline by a few minutes. So I'll get 2 letters this week. That made me feel much better. :) I was having a serious case of sorry-for-myself-itis earlier today since I'd only gotten one 10 minute call and no letters, and it seemed everyone else was getting a ton of calls and letters. My SR has redeemed himself. lol

Then I see some are saying that was there last call till I'm a sailor I was panicky thinking we only got one so far.ugh well at least we had yesterday ladies!Halfway there Hooray!

This is the first call I received. Very emotional for everyone. Son thinks he has 2 more calls (one would be the 'I'm a sailor' I suppose). Yes, halfway there!

Did div 325 get calls? I too am feeling left out. We got a 2 min call over a week ago and no letters yet. It is very hard to wait not knowing what is going on.
