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."

He left a voice mail that was a couple of mins long. Sounded good, but a little tired. I feel so bad for missing the call. We weren't sure whose phone he would call. Wouldn't you know he would call mine in the exact 10 minutes I was in the shower?!?!?

So glad to get a call from our son. If that call did him as much good as it did me, he should be feeling great!

Got my phone call this afternoon! It was so nice to hear my son. He is doing well, but the first week was hard. He says the petty officers are good guys. I hope everyone got a call!
