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'm doin just fine!

So my SR left a little over 3 weeks ago and I'm doin just fine! Yes I miss him, write him 1 or 2 letters a day, run to the mailbox every day, and I've cried once. but time is pretty much going by fast and I'm having a great summer with all my girls. Everyone on here looks like they are so depressed and lonely without their men...so I almost feel bad that I'm doing so well! Anyone else just proud of their man and enjoying their summer, free of sadness?

great to hear ladies! it feels great to hear that others are in my boat and doing well while our men are away making us proud!

well i have good news, my sr called me today! we talked for around 30 minutes, and i added his mom on the call for a while as well! He is doing amazing, loving it, and time is flying just as fast for him! He was made master at arms and then promoted to recruit chief petty officer! im just so proud :) Talking to him, having him shower me with love and reminding me that i am still adored and desired from afar just puts me on cloud 9. what a cutie, he keeps my picture in his boot at all times :)
