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."

Well i mean still its nice to find someone that is going to be there when i am. My family thinks im crazy and need to get over the fact that he is gone and i have to deal with it so its nice to know other people out there understand how i feel. Even if we find ourselves 2 divisions off haha and yeah i understand all about their moms. But me and his mom are working things out. But she still like to rub it in my face that he is and will always be hers.

Thats not fair! Me and his mom actually get along pretty well, i'm sure things will work out though. I always thought it would be sorta fun to find someone on here with the same PIR date.
