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."

Lol! I guess that's one positive of being a Navy girlfriend going to a sad movie like this. WE CAN WASTE OTHERS GAS, AND THEY WON'T COMPLAIN! :D

Tasha (Cody's Girlfriend): I'm going to make my mom drive me to the movie because I know I won't be in driving condition when I get out of it. Lol!

Heidi: true. I suppose I should try to make it be the same.
and its weird because the past 2 days for me have been like that as well. I just find myself crying and pissed for no reason. maybe its because we know we are getting close to see them but that we also know we still have 22 days?
JoyLoveLaughter- I don't know if I have ever had a full day where I felt numb but there has defiantly been hours out of a day that I have just been comatose.

Hey girls. Do any of you have emotional zombie days? Where you don't feel anything. Absolutely nothing. Totally blank. No interest in anything, no reason to laugh, no drive to cry, not even crack a smile. So emotionless you don't even miss your guy or have the will to write? Just total and complete blankness.

I'm having one of those days and I am so looking forward to Dear John. I read the book as well. I can't wait!

so true. :) Pensacola FL

April: we are leaving GL on sunday as well, but not until around 4pm. I just thought I would be able to see him, and now I don't think I will... but at least I get to see him the day after our 9 month anniversary, and I know for sure because that's graduation day, our anniversary is on the 11th. :)

I probably get to spend my valentines in GL without my bf because he graduates, but I was recently told he was grad-n-go and PIR is Dec 12. So I will be spending my first vday (since I've been with my boyfriend) with his family, doing who knows what? If I had to guess I would say I'll probably be crying. Sorry to burst your bubble Heidi, but you will probably be doing the same since our boys are in the same division. It sucks! I should learn to never get my hopes up for anything... I wonder if the Navy will eventually cause me to not get up my hopes?
Well I guess that's enough depressing news for one day, Hope everyone has a good night.

Heidi: I just went out and bought the book. :) Oh and my last art "project" should be finished by tomorrow. I will post as soon as possible. How do I go about posting pictures on the group anyways? Lol!
