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."

Oh yeah, i'm not worried. It's kinda twisted how I got caught up with navy guys.
I dated someone who was navy, and we dated while he went through basic, and mutually decided to split it off about a month after he graduated. (i attended his pir). I decided myself, after extensive research, i wanted to join, so i checked out a few delayed entry program meetings, and decided i really liked it, and me and one of the guys there hit it off and started dating back in february, and have been together almost 5 months now. strange strange strange past. and now in about a year and a half if my bf and i are still together it will be a dual military relationship.
