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."

Comment by amanda on August 9, 2010 at 12:55pm: I know that the briefings at the beginning of A school talk about what would happen if they are caught being addicted to WoW or any other video game for that matter (locked in a room with nothing to do for hours). Anyone know of someone who this happened to? Maybe that could be threat enough for them if you girls reminded them of that? So thankful I don't have this problem! I don't know how you girls do it, I'd be livid and he'd be feeling it! haha

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 9, 2010 at 11:45am: hahaha. I texted him this morning.. I told him to stay away from Starcraft and some other game another girl told me about (LoL? Apparently it's just like WoW, but it's free!! OH NO!) or there would be major consequences. :) I told him no hugs or kisses... but I'm not sure if I can handle that!! haha.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 9, 2010 at 8:35am: hahahaha. I'll keep him away from it. :) I'll just warn him that if he starts any other addicting video games there will be consequences. :)

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 9, 2010 at 8:22am: Never heard of Starcraft 2... I'll have to make sure Aaron doesn't get his hands on it, though. :) If I were you, I probably would have seriously injured my husband by now. Heck, if I was living with Aaron right now, I would have seriously injured him already. :) I told him Saturday night (after being ignored all night- even when I was babysitting in a house in the country and was being freaked out), that when we get married his WoW account is getting cancelled. :)

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 8, 2010 at 7:59pm: Casey, have I ever mentioned how much I love you!? :) Next time I come down (assuming you're still there) we HAVE to meet up. :) With that adorable son of yours. :)

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 8, 2010 at 4:31pm: I just need to let out a little rant about a certain civilian kid...

After complaining on my Facebook that WoW (World of Warcraft) sucks up all my time to talk to my boyfriend, several people had a conversation with me about it. I explained that I don't care that he plays, it's just that I get ignored when he plays and don't get a text for twenty or thirty minutes.. An ignorant kid from my school (used to play with my Sailor in a band) replied, "think on the bright side. When people had to write letters and such with no texting way back in the day, sometimes it would take weeks to get anything!! so 20 minutes isn't too horrible ; )" Ugh. I kind of want to rip his head of right now. :) DUH. I know how freaking long the mail takes!! I know it takes forever to get a letter!! No, twenty minutes isn't horrible, but when it's your only chance the whole day to talk to your boyfriend, yes, it is annoying. He even knows that my boyfriend is in the military! And he knows that he recently went through boot camp! How ignorant can you be!?

Thanks for listening to my frustration. :)

Comment by Rebecky32 on August 7, 2010 at 10:57am: My boyfriend graduates A school and comes home in 13 days! I can not wait to see him!

Comment by mommajo on August 7, 2010 at 12:44am: I love to hear people graduate; it boost morale:) Congrats and safe travel to all who graduate this week!
