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 got my Call Sunday Afternoon ! It was great, I was visiting my youngest daughter at her school so she got to say Hi also. My SR sounded so tired and I was so excited to talk to her the conversation went by to fast. I loved hearing her voice, but I think it just made me sadder because she was hard to hear and sounded sad But she said she was good and keeping busy HAHA Did anyone else have a hard time hearing their SR ?

I agree the conversation went by way to fast. I could hear her ok..like yours she sounded tired but says she's doing good.

I didn't have an issue hearing my SR but he has a pretty loud voice and kept very calm so that could be part of it! I did hear the people yelling at them to get off the phone though haha
