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."

I am New to the Group
Hello Everyone!
I am new one here. My name is Danielle but everyone calls me Dee. Last year, I met this wonderful man who has become my bestfriend. He has been in the Navy for 14 years. I am currently living in Mississippi pursuing by degree in Psychology and I will be graduating this semester. In December, he moved back to VA. One day last week, I tried contacting him just like I do everyday but he took hours to contact me which worried me. When he did, he told me he have to go on water for a while. All I could do was tell him I love him but deep down I wanted to cry but I didn't because he had been told me that he sometimes never know when he has to leave, just the time limit he had to be at a certain destination.
This will be the first time I will have to be without him and not knowing when I will be able to talk too or see him again. I feel bad because I am so clueless because I never really asked a whole lot about his job. I am hoping that this experience makes our relationship stronger. I am glad I found this support group to help me deal with the life I have chose to live with someone I love and plan on marrying in the future if its the Lord's Will. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful man. I look forward to learning and building friendship with individuals who is going through, will go through, or has gone through what I am going through.
Thanks Everyone!
