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 fiance has been gone for 2 weeks and he is literally my best friend. None of my 'friends' get what I'm going through and I miss him so badly. Anyone willing to chat?

ME!!! My boyfriend left for bootcamp this morning and I am distraught. He's my best friend. We do everything together and I have no idea what I'm going to do while he's gone (I sound so pathetic but it's the truth)

I feel you. I was so upset that I cried every morning/night for the first week and then didnt feel like there were any tears left! You're not pathetic at all.

Yeah I've been crying all day and they haven't even taken his phone away yet because he's still in transit... I'm so dehydrated from all the tears I've lost haha

Where's he going? My fiance was able to have his phone until he was at the airport in Chicago!

You are not pathetic! It is definitely not an easy adjustment. For me, I didn't cry which I found it odd, but I started having nightmares almost nightly. I was told it was another way of grieving. It's awful :/

I'm willing to chat as well! (: My husband and I are a recent married couple (21 & 20 yr olds) since August, but we have been together for a total of almost 7 years. He is my person, my best friend for the longest time, I know exactly how you both feel
