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."

@colorfulmonkey- I spoke to my daughter briefly saturday morning (8 mins) and she didn't say anything about that. However, I'm always so emotional/exicted to hear from her that I usually don't get many details like that lol. I did see someone else say that in another conversation somewhere but then another mother said her son said he'd be calling again "next saturday" so who knows! 3 more weeks would be after battlestations and that would be their "I'm a sailor" call. I do know that the next couple of weeks get much busier for them so I wouldn't be surprised if they're not able to call.

My son did say last Saturday that he was told they'd be allowed to call again this coming Saturday. Of course he could have been misinformed or things might change. He's getting his wisdom teeth out this week (all 4) so I'm eager to hear how that went. I hope everyone gets a call, but I'm not getting my heart set on it.

Jcatherine1981 I received a letter last week informing me that my SR had her wisdome teeth removed and was feeling horrible. She was on bedrest for 2 days. I didn't get a call or a heads up about this but I guess I wouldn't since she's an adult now. In the main room chat a joke was made that all the teeth removed were used as stones around the hedges lol Hope your son is feeling better!

Thanks for your responses, @greensmom and @jcatherine1981. I suppose it's another "hurry up and wait!" I hope you get a special call to know that wisdom teeth came out ok.

I had to share, I got a phone call from Sr. today. First phone call, I hit the wrong button so I check voicemail and it was her calling. I cried cause I missed her call. Then a little later, she called again and I got to talk to her. She got privileges so she used one of her calls to call me. Her friend told her that her family will take her on Graduation if her family doesn't show up. This group is so great, she is so touched that a complete stranger will be there for her.
