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."

No we haven't yet either. I just hope we are home because the first call came to the home number . (In the age of cell phones all other numbers are in a contact list lol!) I really want to hear his voice even if just for a few seconds. I'm not even sure how it will come up on the caller ID since it is a calling card.

I can not wait to hear my son's voice as well. I am missing him like crazy. September 4th is not only graduation but my son's birthday. Can't think of a better birthday present. So ready to see him and get a big hug.

SomebodysMom--thanks for the heads up on the possibly phone call Sunday! So anxious to hear my son's voice. This lack of communication it what stinks - can't even send a quick "how ya doing" text. I am so excited to see him on Sept 4th and hear all about his boot camp experience! I scour through the RTC pictures on Facebook whenever they appear. Hopefully I will be able to catch a glance of my son there!! :)

Melanie, Send those texts even though your recruit doesn't have his phone. It will beep a whole bunch when he turns on his phone, and he will see all the love he got during bootcamp that he didn't get to personally experience. :)
