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."

Well, im glad to know that its going by fast. Hopefully it goes the same for me!! It def seems that some of the woman our age here take the clubbing/spending there husbands money, very seriously!! Looking forward to meeting military wives who just want to hangout.lol

it sucks not gonna lie. Nights are the hardest cuz the house seems lonely. But if you surround yourself with friends you'll be fine. I've made it 4 months so far. Only 4 more to go. It's gone by super fast

Lol. Well thanks. So what's it like being away from your hubby while hes deployed??
-
-
haha you def were more helpful then any one else I have talked too lol

Oh wow going from texas to hawaii is def a diff change. Sorry i wasnt much help lol.
-
-
we are in hawaii, so its a very dif new thing for me. Im from texas so of course i spend alot of my time at the beaches but after a while they get boring. I baby sit sometimes to give me something to do, but other then that Im boring. lol, its hard to meet people out here around my age, or that are not stuck up. Most of the 20 year olds around here only want to go clubbing and thats not really my scene. Ive had to talk to the ombudsmen about mailing john but other then that it wasnt very helpful and they barely answer the phones.. so pretty much on my own :/

Johnswifey...my husband deploys on wednesday! I havent had much experience with mailing things yet so the only advice I can give us to maybe call your ombudsmen.
where are you stationed??? I tend to take care of the apartment, and our two year old little girl. Usually I spend every day with him after working on the ship unless it was duty day. So after he deploys, I dont know what im going to do. Im going to work on daycare for my daughter and look for a job. You could volunteer to work at fleet and family. That is what my husbands CMC wants me to try.
