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."

Okay...ckw..my boyfriend went through the SAME mood...like..he was unresponsive to EVERYTHING.
My personal suggestion would be to kinda give him space..talk to him a few times a day, not all day. ask how things are, tell him you love and miss him, then as tough as it is...go about your own day. I think what they need is space..because they don't know how to act now that they are let free, to talk to whoever, and do whatever basically. It does take awhile for them to start being "them" again..but in most cases..they do.
It took my boyfriend 3 weeks, and I still occasionally have to tell him to stop being an asshole and be a boyfriend.
..Do what your heart says to do. Don't follow any advice you don't believe in 100%. hope that helped

Mine was also rude after beginning A school. Told me he missed me, said it was tough not having me there. Then told me he was missing out on "stuff" there plus some other negative things he said. Regretably it finally ended this week when he broke up with me after a two year relationship ...and two babies. ;...... (

My boyfriend went through a mean streak..he was just soooo mean. he didn't even know he was doing it. Everything I said or did some how pissed him off, but he got better...it took awhile..and he still sometimes does it, it's almost like they're PMSing. haha.
