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."

Hey branbear...I'm hoping he can start writing tomorrow so I can have a letter in my mailbox by mid-week next week. **Crossing my fingers** You're right about staying busy. It definitely helps. You haven't heard from him yet?

Hi everyone! My bf has been in boot camp two weeks now. I'm an emotional roller coaster but I'm doing surprisingly well most times. His family has been great. If its not his mom calling, its his sisters, aunt, or my parents to check up on me. I guess they all know it would be hardest on the person who practically lived with him.
This website has really helped me get through some nights and I just wanted to thank you all. For those of you struggling a bit, I found a discussion that has me laughing so hard. "Top Ten Lines Home From Boot Camp..." Hilarious! Can't wait to see what he'll write on his letters.
