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 a phone call from my SR! He sounded amazing and said that they are working 038's butts off. Didn't get to talk too much, he wanted to call his parents and brother too. Still, it made my day. Maybe my week too!

Got my call today too! He sounds good, not nearly as homesick as his letter. He did get choked up when his dog heard him on the speaker phone and started barking for him.
