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."

My husband was in boot camp for mothers day and will probably miss his son being born. Don't feel bad. It happens.
My husband is on a 7 month deployment.. He missed my birthday last year because of an underway and will also miss it again this year, but Im not worried about my birthday... I am going to miss his birthday this year... It's going to be like that alot and the only thing we can do is get used to it... I know it's hard, but we have to be strong for our men... It would be great if we could plan these things for them, but the navy does not work around the people that your sailor loves and I have learned this... Just hang in there and it will get better.
My boyfriend was also in boot camp on my birthday and for our anniversary. It's just something you have to learn to put a smile on and enjoy the day. Because as much as it bugs you he isn't there it also bugs him he can not be there for you. Stay strong!
My husbands deployment is coming up and he will miss Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Years, Our 3 yr wedding anniversary, My bday, Valentines day. The joys of being a military partner :)
