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 guess so but thats the part that stinks! I hate surprises. Lol Uhm in EVERY letter he has written he has talked about getting engaged and then tellin me to get a rough idea for a wedding date. He wants to get married right after A school! His three buddies actually wrote me last week telling me about theirselves and added at the very end..."congratulations on the engagement!!" I was like WHAT?! Im not engaged yet. Lol so there is something going on that I REALLY want to know about. Lol
