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 ladies, I have a question for all of you, what do you do when things get tough with you and your significant other? My boyfriend and I are having a bit of a rough patch with keeping a balance. Him between school his friends, being able to get off base every now and then and still being able to talk to me. And me keeping in mind that he is always so busy with school all day and then even more studying after untill 930 that of course he is going to be too tired to talk on the phone some nights. I just need some advice on how to keep things cool so I dont get upset and start a fight with him over nothing. I love him too much to loose him over a silly misunderstanding/misscomunication about the differences in both of our lives right now.

hey ladies! I haven't been on here much because things are so busy now! I'm living on Andrews AFB in Maryland and I've finally made some friends haha. It's been a long and difficult road with moving and being too shy to make friends (thank god for facebook groups) and my husband and I went through some MAJOR issues but everything is seemingly okay for now anyways! How is everyone else doing? Ready for all the holidays coming up (well okay maybe they are still a few months away but I'm SO excited for some thanksgiving food! haha) My son's first birthday is Nov. 4th and his first halloween is coming up so these next few months are going to be exciting for me! Hope everyone is doing well!
