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 have good news..:)

Just as I got on my fiance's facebook kind of pissed to possibly curse his mother out or just remove her from his page. She replied to message?? weird Idk what changed her mind because she is typically a bitch but I'm happy either way. I got his address, sending him a letter tomorrow.

Does anyone know if he has been granted time to write letters yet? He left on the Sept. 20th, and his grad date is Nov. 16th. I hear some people say 2nd Sunday they get to write? and then I've read the third week? which I hope not. I really couldn't stand expecting a letter from him almost a month after he's gone if he gets to write on the third week.

I want to feel connected to him again so bad, even talking his mother made me happy lol

I'd only be missing the class I have a presentation in, because I'm getting a flight Thurs after noon or maybe Friday morning that way I don't miss anything. And that prof. gives one freebee absence so I'll be fine for the most part.

Professors are people too, and yours may be very receptive to "I really need to tell my sailor face to face to face I am having his child, so we can plan or family future, perhaps to marry.  What do I need to do concerning my course work to make this happen?"  

Can't hurt to ask.

PIR is Fri morning so you would need to fly out Thurs afternoon.

This is so important and such a huge deal to them to have their loves ones there to see their accomplishment. Like Anti M said it can't hurt to talk to your professor in private and ask. They are understanding that things happen in life- and a lot of them are super appreciative of our men and women who are in the military.
