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."

Day 1 of being apart
Today I got a text message from my fiance, who was awaken at 0330, with a short video message saying how much he loved me. He sent me pictures of his breakfast and him in line. It was hard to sleep at night knowing today was the day his life was going to change forever so I probably slept for the most 1 hour. I'm currently sitting on the couch just waiting for another text message or phone call. It's been about 6 hours so maybe something will come soon. I've been trying to keep busy but nothing is working. This is going to be the hardest 2 months of my life. I haven't ate anything for almost 3 days only been drinking water, can find an appetite. My stomach is in knots and i don't know how to get rid of them. Over all in trying to stay positive. One of my fiances friends is also in BC right now so I've been communicating with his girlfriend. I'm currently going to write a few letters to my fiance and his friend. This should be fun. Hopefully I can keep myself from crying, that's all I've been doing these past few days. Well that's all for now I will post again later or maybe tomorrow with some updates hopefully.
