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."

Yeah , they can get in trouble if u hug him for to long or his (french) kiss him. The RDC's can making him return to BC if they see it. and u also cant hold hands, if u want to be close u have to hold his shoulder like if ur a princesses and his a prince. and has to be on the left, cuz he needs his right hand free to be able to salute when he needs to. I know sucks right?

Yeah when he was in high school with me we were both in JROTC and we had to wear uniforms on Wed.s and so its pretty much the same rules I am assuming. Where you have to link arms and not be all over eachother haha. Which we dont do in public anyways just because we dont like to see other people doing it so why should we? haha. so i dont think anybodies going to have a problem :)
