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."

he called meeeee!!!

i am still stoked at this very moment after my man called this morning for 2 minutes.
i was so surprised cause i though they wont get to call til their 3rd week. he's only been there for 2 weeks. he mentioned about whats gonna happen after he graduates, all i remember he said 7 days then there 15... i was shakin and didnt understand all the info he said. i made him repeat everythin he said but still didnt sink in.. lol i feel like im so dumb, but i was so overwhelmed. he said its hard, but he's getting thru it. he told me pls send a lot more letters...he said he cries every night when he reads my letter but it gives him encouragement to get pass thru each day. 

i remember i asked him how he got to call me, he answered but i was totally lost :((( that was my first phone call from him after the "im here" call so it was a total surprise and overwhelming!
