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."

He left on September 4th. And he graduate November 2nd. Yes it was short. It was a 7 minute call but it was better than nothing. Haha
It was hard to hear him because he was really quiet and the connection kept breaking up so when you get your call make sure you are listening closely. I hope your call comes soon. -

Yeah, we'll who knows. He got to call his mom a week before so maybe you can get a call earlier than I did? Yes I am so excited! When does your bf graduate?
