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."

hey everyone! I don't think I've ever posted in this group, but I did in the bootcamp gf one while J was in boot. So for those who don't know me, my name is Sara, I'm 19 and almost not pregnant anymore haha! Now J's out of boot and in A school in Dam Neck (Virginia Beach) and it's been weird I guess. I think it's hard for them to get use to A school, but it's been really hard on me because I feel like I'm still always waiting by the phone waiting for a call or him to text me. I still feel like he's in bootcamp I guess. I'm fortunate enough to get to go down and see him pretty regularly, I've seen him twice now and I'm bringing him back to Richmond on Saturday to pick up his car because he'll get to drive by then. We're engaged now and I'll be moving down there probably after the baby is born (November 5th!, sooooo close!) but I'm nervous about that too, because he'll be gone all day and I'll be down there with a newborn baby and no family or anything. We haven't really gotten in fights, but he has a lot of decisions to make about his job and C school and we argue about that. I want to be supportive and I want him to do what he wants, but it's just hard for me to rationalize him doing something really dangerous when his son is about to be born. I dont know... sorry for my rant! I'm glad boot is over with, but things were a lot easier then.
I hope everyone is doing well!

Nicole.... I added someone on facebook but not sure if its you.. from the pictures I couldn't really tell but not thinking so?....

ckw - Yeah, definitely easier said than done..I hope he gets back to his old self too. I went through the same single word text, i'm not telling you anything, aggitated responses:/ The only thing I can say is stick to your guns girl! Put him in his place if he gets outta line, DO NOT let him walk all over you, remember, reguardless of WHO he is, NO MAN treats a woman badly. NO MAN. Put him in his place, and then drop it. Go back to a normal conversation. Give him space...This transformation could take weeks...Fair Warning. Stick with it, you can get through it. When he starts getting back to being himself I told him how he made me sad and hurt me, and he apologized..he didn't know he was doing it. Stay strong..it'll get better!
