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."

Boyfriend left yesterday :(((
I have been with my boyfriend for a little over 4 years and he got to Great Lakes yesterday night. I received the arrival phone call at 3AM (EST). I cried ALL day yesterday and all night!! It's a rough time but I know it'll all be worth it in the end. I'm excited to find out his ship/div so I can keep in contact with more of the people on here, especially the people in his division! Take care everyone & God Speed.
