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."

Scared& Excited all at the same time!

I got my first letter on Thursday Jan. 26th. He wrote me a 3 page letter saying how he does not like bootcamp, but he is sticking it out for us. I cried like a little baby, i know i only have a a little over a month left until I get to see him. Sometimes I wonder if this is going to be a good thing or not, i have been home in VA for 18 years with my parents and 4 brothers, and extended family. I am really scared to move away from home, with just Jared & I. I dont know what to expect. I…

waiting on that 1st phone call

Posted on January 19, 2012 at 6:55pm 0 Comments

I have been waiting on that phone call for days, When you love and miss someone so much all you want to do is sit by the phone. I get so excited when the phone rings, but my heart sinks when its not. I know I am going to cry like a little baby when he calls but all I want is to hear his voice again. I know this is only for 2 months, but I am ready to have him home with me already. I am kinda scared to talk to him because I don't want him to worry about me being upset about him leaving.

1st letter made me cry.

I started crying when I actually saw it was from him & I had fianlly gotten his address to send him all my letters. When his step-mom Tammy got home she opened it and i took a deep breath and we started reading it and we both started…

I am Caitlyn, im 18 years old.My fiance and I have been together for 3 years now Were getting married in June of 2012.  He left for bootcamp Thursday, January 5th 2012, he went to Great Lakes Illinois. We are very close and it was hard to see him go, it was even harder when you can't even say goodbye. I know this is not goodbye forever... but it seems like its been years since I talked to him last. I still have not gotten a letter from him, but I have been writing him everyday! I hope once…
