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."

So upset - my whole body feels numb. Just found from my boyfriends mom that he isn't graduating. He isn't going to get a graduation, hes going to go to A school after hes done with boot camp. I have no idea when he will be done with boot camp :'(
