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."

Sorry you've been having issues. He might just be getting used to the change from bootcamp to A-school. My husband has been in A-school for about three weeks now and I haven't noticed a change. He gets busy with duty and watch sometimes but hasn't been overwhelmingly busy with classwork just yet.

sorry that you are going through this. first thing, take a deep breath. My fiance was the EXACT same way for A school and towards the ending of his deployment, so I know EXACTLY how you feel. My advice to you first would be to talk to him,if you are going to be a part of this military life you have to establish that communication and let him know whats bothering you. Dont be emotional or yell just tell him whats on your mind. Next, ask him how HE'S doing. i know thats strange but my man told me that they get so stressed out being there. so maybe he is just over whelmed and ready to come home. in A school they take tests, do PT early in the morning and have long days, he literally just might be tired and when you have people at home who dont understand it can get frustrating. Im also Military so i know how it is on the inside....DIstance is hard for people which is why im urging you to relax and talk with him. Its normal in the sense that this is new for BOTH of you and you both have alot of adjusting to do...this is only step one, theres going to be plenty more of times hes away and yall have to figure out now how to fix that. but dont go to the first worst conclusion...SO,all i did was talk to my man, told him how i felt, and asked his take on things and we were great, it was just stressful for us both. he needed me to be supportive and i needed him to understand, so you have to find a healthy balance. if you want more advice just write me or i can inbox you my number. i know how tough it is right now. He might just be getting used to everything. you know him more than anyone... relax and stay strong. =)

Nothing in A school is particularly classified, unless he's a nuke, and then the A school portion is mostly math and physics. He may be busy, and on mandatory study. C school is where things actually become classified to the extent you don't share about what you are learning.
