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."

Aaron thinks he'll get anywhere from 9 days to 2 weeks. Depends on where he'll be going and how soon they'll be starting. He doesn't expect to find out where he's going until a few days before graduation... But the last class found out like at the end of January and they graduate at the end of February. Sooo, pretty much everything is up in the air. haha.

Ya I heard 9 days maybe less from my fiance (from his SLPO because he asked if it were possible to go home and have a wedding ceremony)

Okay, let's think this through. If our guys get 9 days of leave, and then start Prototype on the 1st week of May, they will have just completed week 4 when Memorial Day weekend is here. Chances Aaron will be able to fly home for my graduation??? :/
Damn. If that boy can't make it to my junior prom, senior homecoming, senior prom, OR graduation, he's got some major sucking up to do!!! GAH! :/

:( I hope he can make it to either prom or graduation. I'm betting on prom because its more one-on-one time for just the two of you. I remember Jacob more at prom than I do graduation. Maybe those will be the weekends when he has 4 days off?!

I'm hoping graduation. I've pretty much given up on prom.. It's the weekend before graduation. April 16th. He'll have study hours all weekend. :(
We talked about him flying in Saturday afternoon, doing the whole prom thing, and flying home early Sunday morning. It would give him enough time to do all his study hours, but he doesn't think he could get a trip like that approved by his SLPO. He says the only way to do it is just not tell anyone, and I do NOT want to be the one who makes him go AWOL.

ouch. Ya i forget that my High School's schedule isn't really like everyone else's. We didn't have prom until the weekend before graduation in June.
