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."

lol. ya i booked my plane tickets tues night and his mom already has the hotel booked. Im waiting a week or two to get my hair done. Ive lost weight already from the stress of it all but am going to start dieting ontop of it. Its crazy. Though we will only be able to see them for a few days, we are women at heart, and though it wont matter to them what we look like (we could be in sweats and no makeup and it wouldnt phase them lmao) we will go through extreme lengths to look our best for them. Well at least its something to keep us busy and help time pass.

Lmao I know, I wanted to lose some weight and since he's been gone I've been so damn busy and not enough time! LMAO! I already have my hotel reservations! I'm bringing my dog too because we're at a pet friendly hotel. I'm hoping we'll at least be able to spend Friday together because I know he's missing the dog a lot too, and I'm sure he would want to see her, but that's a surprise so shhhh LMAO. I know he's going to Pensacola, just don't know when he's leaving. And I'm getting my hair done Monday! HAHAHA!

I know what you mean. But at least we get to see them soon. Its almost to the halfway point. Now we can start making plans for seeing them again. one of my friends whose husband is in the marines said that bootcamp is the best part. Now is the point where you start making plans to get your hair and nails done and you feel like you dont have enough time to get ready to see him. Im totally starting to see what she means.

I received 2 letters today. He seems to be happy and was upbeat about everything except not spending the Holidays with me and getting his wisdom teeth out. Damn I miss him so much.

My bf is also going to nuke school. He said hes not scheduled to leave till tues, however i just read on the rtc site that they only get liberty on the weekend as long as they are attached to rtc. kinda puts a damper on the valentines plans, but hey ill take whatever time with him that i can get.

I'm excited now. I haven't gotten a letter yet but my son is going to nuke school too so maybe he won't be a grab and go either. Crossing my fingers.

It was wonderful reading my letters when i got home last night. As of now it looks like we get to spend our first valentines day together before he has to leave for A school. Im so excited about that. More excited just to see him and be with him. It feels like its been forever.

I'm hoping to get a letter when I get home. That's awesome, 2 in one day. Looks like they may be getting more time to write.
