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."

And, npsailormom, my boyfriend is in the same division as you and he has not gotten any calls. So don't be too discouraged! Apparently their division wasn't doing so great, but I am sure they will get better in these later weeks. I could tell that my boy was just really stressed. But I hear it gets better in the later weeks!

priscilla-where is gonna go for a-school again? that's true.. and its hard bec. u gotta make decisions on ur own for both of you. but oh well, thats how the navy rolls! :) i am still thinking when's the best time to get married. he's been wanting to get married since he was on DEP. but i said, lets wait til you get out of BC so u dont have to do more paper works. but now im like, gah! why did i have to wait? i dont like waiting games either! lol...

Sweetgen: the won't have anymore leave bc they've only earned 5days, so if he uses up all 10days that they're given, he'll be 5days in the hole. Hope that wasn't confusing. :)
Nina: S brought his wallet, too. I found a handful of apartments I like. According to googlemaps, the closest ones are approximately 10min away. Gonna call some places tmrw to get quotes. It's tough bc there's no communication between S & myself. If I'm able to, I'd take base housing in a heartbeat. It'd just be easier lol.
No mail from my hubby today. I don't like playing the waiting game. Hopefully tmrw!
