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."

No problem, I'm always looking for other navy wives in va beach to talk/hang out with lol. My husbands ship just got transferred to the Norfolk base. I can't imagine how hard its been so far. How long will he be gone? Do y'all have any kids?

He"ll be gone for a year :o( and I was pg 2mths when he left but I ended up at the hospital. So no we don't but we"ll try again when he gets back. He'll be gone for a year.
I also am looking for other Navy wives to hang out/talk to because honestly no one will ever know what you are going through but a fellow Navy Wife. -

I'm sorry for your loss! Wow that is a bit of a long time. I hang out with a few other navy wives in va beach. One her husband just gt back from deployment this past week. But your right other "normal" wives don't get the stress we endure as navy/military wives.

So, so true. Its an entirely different stress and of course life but it makes us Even stronger women and our love stronger as well for our Men. If you ever want to hang out or just have some coffee I can send u my info through mail.
