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."

Liberty Weekend.
My boyfriend wrote saying he's watch? But he'll have liberty weekend free because of it. What does that mean? And in a later letter he wrote about having a week with me? How long does Liberty weekend last? He's an OS and his schooling will be at Virginia Beach. Also, he wrote about Christmas stand down, does that mean he gets to come home?

I was hoping that was the case. My husband isn't close to any of his family so he definitely won't have a blood relative there to sign him out!

Never mind, you're married. Haha.

:) being married ahead of time is nice...at least I know I won't have to plan a wedding around crazy military schedules. And I'm already on his paperwork so getting stuff set up should be easier. Both my brothers are marines - one got married last yr and they had a small quick wedding with about 10ppl there and never were able to get the chance to have a big ceremony due to his schedule. My other brother is getting married next yr and they can't even set a date cuz he still doesn't have orders for when he will be back from Japan.

I've been silently following this thread and I just want to say it's so helpful! My hubby leaves in Nov for bootcamp and will be staying in Great Lakes for both A- and C- school. I've been wondering what to expect as far as his liberty goes. Kylagrace - I have a lot to learn too!

Oh good! I'm not alone! haha.
