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."

Hi Azerin, I agree Saturdays call did make it a bit easier. Do you know if their calls will only be coming on Saturdays? Maybe I will just always put my phone on call forward?

Hi Angie! My son told me he would probably be calling Sat at around the same time. It was 920 AZ time when he called (1120 central), so his Chief probably sets that up. He told me the Chief is a woman, so I'm hoping she understands what Moms go thru!
