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."

Hello ladies I am new to this life 100%, and I don't know what I am going to do. My babe is leaving for boot camp on exactly one month today. I can't think of anything else and I cry all day everyday since I found out. Will this get any easier at some point? Its so hard to know I will be without my love on Christmas, New Years, and our anniversary. I feel like I am falling apart but I want to be strong. Is there anyone who can give me some words of advice on how to get through?
