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."

Yeah, Deployments SUCK. I have a feeling that even if we aren't back together before he leaves he'll still write me. Hell, when he's in town, i'm the first to know:)
there's still feelings there!! I am hoping we get back together here soon!!
He said it's gonna be a "surprise". Stupid stupid surprises. Lol.

Hello ladies:)
I'm back!!!
Just got back from my cruise midnight last night.
Seeing C lastweekend was AMAZING. Much needed hangout time.
Shocker----......He was texting me at the Miami airport before I flew out, and
he was saying how he missed me..and how he drove past RTC the other
day and immediately thought of me and how I was there....and is thinking he may wanna get back together...
:D*YELLS*
Yes...I am excited we're even thinking about it again!!!
Downside to things...he leaves on his first deployment in January....
so kinda embracing things one day at a time. If we do get back together..
it'lll be stronger than ever..but hard as hell!
I'll post photos soon of my vacation.
Also - Welcome to all you new ladies:)))
Feel free to ask questions, everyone is here to help!

Hey Girls, I hope everyone enjoyed their Holiday. I wont get to see my Sailor for months, he isn't even deployed, but its starting to feel like one its been 5 months since we seen each other, and with me starting school in Jan its hard for me to get time away to go and see him so possibly the next time I can see him is in May. Its sad I miss him so much and this distance is starting to kill our relationship, we rarely talk or text or anything, I wont hear from him for weeks and then I get a 5minute convo and then after we hang up i get a text saying if you don't want to talk you can tell me. Its just getting really difficult to stay happy sorry for rambling and everything. thank you girls for being here. enjoy your week.
