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."

I got his first letter on the 17, but it was dated the 5th. So i know he's sending them, its juss a matter of time before i get them. But i read these letters over and over , it sure does help me make it through the day!

Trust me, if you can stock enjoys through it will definitely bring you two closet together. All my fiance talks about in his letters is how much he loves me and cant wait to see me. His very first letter even said ' I didn't even think I could love you more but this experience is showing me that you really are the most important thing in my life' its things like that that will make all these tears and lonely nights worth it! :) hope you all get your letters soon. Once they come in it gets better. And just wait till you receive a letter where he is responding to yours! Communication!

Ha! I still have four years to go :) but always remember it is always going tobe a emotional rollercoaster. Thats nothing to be ashamed of. I told my man before he left to not feel sad if I cry. I'm only crying cause I love him so much.
