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, since they have so much in common I'm sure they'll be friends. Oh that's exciting, you'll be seeing him for two whole weeks! Do you have any idea where he'll be stationed? Does he have any kind of choice in where they send him?
I'm worried too, 5 years is a long time. But we'll be so happy when they're over! That's funny, my boyfriend wanted to be a personal trainer for a while, too. When will your fiance be done with A school?
Wow I can't believe he can come home for Christmas I'm so excited! I just assumed that he wouldn't be able to, but that's great news. He called me yesterday for about 45 minutes and sounded pretty happy. He finally got my letters, which is good, and says that he's made some good friends. That would be so cool if they became friends! After the Navy he wants to be a fireman.
Wow that's so weird! I can't believe they're both going to have the same job! He graduates on November 27th, the day before Thanksgiving. It sounds like he's going to have liberty from Wednesday through Sunday, but my cousin is getting married in California on Saturday, so I have to be back for that. I'm so sad I won't be able to spend the whole time with him! Do you know if they will be able to come home for Christmas?
I've written him 6 letters already, and I plan on writing him a lot more. I guess he's not getting mine yet though because the last letter I got from him was sad. He said that he was upset because he hasn't gotten any letters from me and thinks that I've forgotten about him :( It breaks my heart that he's over there thinking I've forgotten about him, when in reality he's all I think about. That was written on the 18th, so maybe it's come by now. And he's going to be an Operations Specialist and his A School is in Great Lakes. I'm so glad I've found someone who's in such a similar situation! Hopefully we can help each other get through this.
Hi, do you have a recruit in BC or a Sailor in the Fleet? You may want to join Girlfriends, Fiances, and Wives of Sailors.
Your Username appears to contain your last name and email address; if so, you should change that and the URL to this page. Numbers 1 and 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link) will tell you how to fix both. There may be other changes you will want to make as well, such as number 3.
