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."

I'm Katie, I turn 20 this December. I live in southern California, and love it! My parents are currently going through a divorce, my dad left us this last new years eve. I love musical theater and dance, and I'm thinking about being a pharmacy tech. I work at Chick-fil-a, which is where I met my boyfriend, he was a team leader and trained me then a year later we started dating, about 5 months after that he left for boot camp, we knew he was going and all that good stuff so it wasn't a shock on our relationship. We've been together 10 months now.... well at least thats before he broke up with me Sunday, I'm hoping it's just because of cold feet, and we'll get back together on his leave, I'm hoping but trying not to get my hopes up at the same time. I live a pretty simple life style I think anyways... It's just been stressful lately. I at one point wanted to join the Navy, and kicked the idea around a lot, until I heard about the showering process. lol!
