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 basically did a journal recapping my day. But every letter I put in pics, FMLs, song lyrics, jokes, sport updates, quotes, ect. Find a way to be unique and have fun with it. He will love your creativity and all the other men get jealous! haha.

That's what I've been doing in my letters. I tell him what I do in my classes everyday, how my day is going, I ask how he's doing and I update him on how my family is. I tell him everything that I would when he's here. So I don't think you are doing anything wrong :)
I also will add some lines from songs. Especially lines from "our song". -

I write to my boyfriend every night before i go to bed, so far i have written 33 letters to him. When he wrote back he said that he loves to get them all of the time. I write and tell him everything that i do everyday, news from the family, things that happen while i am at school or work, everything. Sometimes, i keep a notebook with me during my day and jot down something that i see or hear that reminds me of him, or if i am thinking of something that only he and i would understand. and i sent it to him. he says he loves to hear it, even if i am just rambling on, it makes him feel like it speaking to me, an that we are closer. Write whatever you want to him, but i agree, i probably wouldn't write too many sad things. Tell him you miss him, and how often you think of him, but lighten it up with a "i'll see you soon" or something along those lines! hope this helps anyone who is wondering! :)
