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."

Back to the Basics
Name's Kayla. Boyfriend Sean is in boot-camp right now. We both decided this path in Sept. and surprisingly no regrets yet lol. We've been together about a year and a half. He's in boot camp so what am I doing with my life besides waiting for a letter most the time. I'm applying for a job and starting my sophomore year in college for my communication arts major in Aug. Sean and I hung out almost everyday that's if his video game addiction didn't get in the way. The time away from him can be painfully hard to deal with but it's making me more independent. Right now he has about a month and two weeks left, and I'm extremely proud of this and can't wait to congratulate him for how far he come. He'll be going in to AECF working with computers. I'm still new to Navy life and I'm willing to learn more.
