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."

So sorry, Kelsi, that you are going through that - it does seem that there are people that live every day to harrass others and they just can't see it in themselves. I am praying that you will have some peace from it as I know it is difficult enough being a military girlfriend, much less someone bothing you every time you turn around. I don't know if OPSEC can shed any light on it or not, but it could be worth a try. Also, if she is bothering you on N4Ms, I would think they could block her.
Additionally, what is a military s/o?
