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."

Marriage question(ssss) :)
My sailor and I have been together 3ish years and 2 of those years have been while he's in the navy. I am in school and will be graduating within the next year and our next step is marriage. I have heard it is stressful and there is a lot of paper work to be done and have no clue about any of this and how it gets done. I am currently in Ohio, and he is station at Kbay Hawaii and has a pretty good job on base where he'll be till January 2015... He has talked about getting married on paper first so that we can start all the paper work and have all that stressful stuff done so that when I graduate we can just have a ceromony and start our lives together finalllyyyyyy. Anyway, I guess I was just wondering what all has to be done, and if this is a terrible idea.

I was totally in the same boat as of a week ago! Im currently in college, in Georgia, and he is in California. We have been together for 3.5 years, and recently decided that the distance was unbearable and we wanted to be together whatever it took, so I flew out for a week, we got married at the courthouse, no ceremony, didn't tell anyone(my parents want my to finsih school first so its kind of a secret..).. (we will have a bigger wedding when I graduate). Paper work wasn't bad at all actually, I still have to go get my named changed, but as for the legal stuff for the military's part, easy. Btw, I did have to fly back to Georgia the day of our wedding..it sucked but I will be moving and transferring schools next semester, so I knew it wouldnt be long till I was back for good. Really it doesnt feel much different in terms of school and "omg we are married being apart is SOOO much more unbearable". I wouldn't worry about that, unless you really work your self up about it. Good Luck to you both!!
