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."

When you see him in December, it will give you a chance to talk to him in person and tell him how you feel. There is nothing as good as looking into his eyes to see where he's coming from and I hope you will be able to work it out. They always come across funny when they are away, I don't know if it is the pressure of the job, other people listening,(nothing but blue water day after day, it's hypnotizing I think!) But in person, it is so different that you wonder how you thought what you thought!

Maybe you can compromise and move with the baby in early March to Washington when you and the baby are stronger.It does seem like a long wait till May to have the family together.

/it sounds like he is just trying to do what is the best for you. My boyfriend does this quite a bit. Even though you are upset and feel it isnt right for you he is just doing the best he can. Remember it may seem like a long time, but in compasison to spending the rest of your life together it isnt long at all
