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."

You can still write to him even if you don't have his address... trust me it helps. Then when you get his address send the letters. I mean, it's not like they go bad or anything.

My fiance was gone for HIS birthday it was weird not being able to celebrate with him! I don't know if you will find this comforting or not but he does miss you as much as you miss him... it's not easy for anyone but it's te hardest right now when he just left and you have no way of contacting him. But he is okay, because if he wasn't you would have heard something. I know it's hard but try to find things to do it makes the time go by faster. The days that were the longest to me were the ones where I had nothing to do and was home all day.

I started going to the gym, that was helpful because I set a goal for myself (to lose 10 pounds by the time I saw him again) and it kept my mind busy while I was doing it! Plus it helped me sleep better and work off stressful things that normally I would talk to him about. Feel free to friend me and message me if you want!

I feel the same way you do! I tried really hard to keep myself busy today, but if anyone mentioned him I would break down. When did he ship? My boyfriend shipped yesterday.
