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."

Just got a phone call from my son - on Thursday evening!! He is in good spirits. Sounded like he had a cold but he said it is probably from all of the show he got! It was so good to hear his voice!

Happy to hear you got a call from your son! The calls seem to make things better! I know how you feel, hearing my sons voice makes me one happy mama! Sending positive thoughts your sons way, hopefully he doesn't have a cold and if he does I hope it goes away fast! :)

My son said it went well when he got his wisdom teeth pulled last week. He slept for 2 days! He has never done too well with dental stuff so when he told me it went well it made me feel better! He said they were really nice to him and the dentist was good! I hope that helps. I'm glad you was able to talk to him! Are you an RN? I'm a ER nurse so I understand about working long hours!

Woo that's a lot of time in traffic. It's nice getting to know you. I'm going to ask my son if you knows your son. I'm sure he does. How many calls have you gotten from your son? I got the "in made if to Great Lakes" another one on Saturday 10/11 and one last Saturday 10/17. I didn't get a call yesterday which seems odd since they are in the same division.
