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 new normal....
Last night I didnt sleep at all, but then again I haven't slept since the day he left(December 13,2012). I am always and i feel like there is always something that I need to do. I try to stay stong for my sailor cause I know he worries about me just as much as I worry about him. He tells me all his emotions and I help turn his pain into strenght and sadness in to joy. I am always puting on this front for him so he wont see how much I hurt. I love being the one with him on this path with him and hopefully next week we will be married. I cry at random times and have no one to turn to. He is the one I share everything with and I am afraid if I tell him how I am feeling he will loose focus and not do as well. I cant talk to my family or friends cause they dont understand. They just think I am being a baby and need to snap out of it. I still go out with my friends but the only thing that is ever on my mind is him. I am afraid to cry cause I know if I start I wont be able to stop. I have always held in my emotions and they eventually go away. I have night mares about bootcamp and fears for A school. I just wish I could have my best friend back to comfort me when I feel this way. He is the only one to ever see me cry besides the one time he got on the plane to go to A school and I broke down in the middle of the airport. His family tries to help but nothing seems to be working. I keep replaying the whole thing in my head. Its like that bad car wreck you cant stop looking at. I think if I got some sleep I would feel better but I cant sleep without him. I am afraid to put my phone down in fear he will try to contact me and I will miss it. I hope things get better if/when i am able to follow him. Just ready for my new normal to become a memory. </3

At least now if he calls and you miss the call, you can call him back. Hang in there.
