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."

hi there what is his rank and rate and how long will he be there for .i think this is just all new to you both will take a while to calm down to find out what works for both of you. long distance is hard never mind differentt countries. i would make a plan of things you want to do in the future school work kids marriage travel etc.then stop talk to each other and take one day at a timehold on to what you have and really think about what would make you happy.good luck to you both hope you can go and see him really soon

mom 56 - he started as a e1 and I think he moved up just by being there for a few months, don't know exactly I think he told me e3 but not sure on that. but he's listed for four years.
Thanks to everyone else's feedback I'll take it in consideration and keep note to self. I really have a better understanding more just reading these, really appreciate it especially. As a girlfriend I want to have him feel that I do understand him, that is why i'm here supporting him every step of the way. Yeah I'm aware that beginning is pretty tough, just gotta stick it through. We totally are a match together - too much alike especially with morals and values. I love that boy! I am definitely going to pray more and more
