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."

My boyfriend just arrived yesterday in Pensacola for his A school...when did you girls get your first call from them? AO school is backed up for months it looks like. His parents didnt want to ship him his stuff 'cause he was told he would come home in March. Now I don't know what to do. Any advice?
-

Send him pictures too....they love that....Thats what Steven told me when I did. The letter will be small and not very long, I only got 3 the whole time while he was there.

Its tough! Dont kick yourself about it. You mean EVERYTHING to him and thats all that matters.....trust me. You can make it through BC and then decied from there. Just write him every chance you get....I would write a litte bit each day for a few days and by the time I sent my letters they would be like 7 pages long but he never complained....he loved it!
-

No its not, no worries! I did the same thing and when I talked to him about it durning his Liberty he was kinda thankful about it. It just puts some kind of comfort into you when you know whats going on. Now Im doing it for A School...lol not working as well for BC! lol

I sure hope so...I have looked up SO much stuff while he was gone!!! LOL
