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."

I'm from the East Coast and I know someone who is from South Korea. She told me the weather there (Japan) is just like here - so yes, it is cold there now.
No one is alone - we are all here for each other! :0)

sara yeah we should def be on the safe side just keep on staying positive you will be fine keep yourself busy and when that day comes he contacts you theres going to be a deep sigh of relief and happiness it took like a couple of days after he arrived to japan he went straight to the ship so it was awhile when i heard from him but i bet he is doing fine. Just remember it is not like a normal job they work more than a regular shift my boyfriend works about 18-20 hrs a day so he tries to communicate through email as much as he can. just keep your head up you are not alone that is why we are here for you :)
