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 had my first ever skype date with my boyfriend last night!:) It was SO awesome!!!! It was about 2 hours long. He got to tell me about his day-to-day indoc schedule, and i got to briefly meet his room mate, and he gave me a web cam tour of his room, I even got "lucky" enough to see the head! what a thoughtful boyfriend i have(sarcasm!) But he really likes skype, and wants to try and skype again tonight, and every night this week, since he's in indoc and will probably have time, then at least once a week once he's in classes, due to mandatory study hours, talking will be limited, but we already agreed that we will have goodmorning texts, and good night texts, if all else fails. Right now i'm looking at seeing him in October, but prices are super steep. Plane tickets are about 413$ w.o taxes..and hotel is about 240$, food is about 100$, money to go do stuff is about 200$ and taxi's are about 100$ for 4 days....thats over a grand:/ I have just over 400$ right now, and as of aug. 11th i go back to a regular min. wage job, because of school. So I think i'm gonna see if we can split it. I come up with 500$ and he comes up with 500$..

No, no promise ring yet. That is one that my aunt bought me for my 16th birthday cruise to st.thomas. My best friend went on the cruise because our birthdays are only a month apart and we got similar rings, tanzanite(my birthstore, until it runs out, then its topaz again) and australian opal with diamonds:) That's from my aunt, and I won't ever take it off, until G has a ring to put there:) Which he had be check SC marriage laws, because if we remain together when I turn 17 around then we would probably end up engaged, and he's going to ask my daddy, so i am hoping all goes well when that time comes. So that way he's on my orders, then ill be on his.

I will hopefully have a small PIR group and can squeeze in 239480293892 extras(:

Maybe we should all go to Nicole's PIR?!!!

This is going to sound weird but after looking at Nicoles pictures again it makes me want to go back to GLs again. Ah, such a proud moment
