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."

Badge
Boyfriend + Bootcamp = Braveness
So my boyfriend arrivied to Great Lakes last night. I told him to call his mom for his arrival phone call, because she didint make it to his swear in and I did. She called me and informed me that he had arrived safe, she said the call was very quick and to the point. Since he has been gone, of course I have shed a bucket of tears, but overall I think that I am humble and encouraged. My level of braveness has increased by 55% and is ascending. I have realized that he took this BRAVE step to support our family, but most importantly our country. What hurts me that most is that our son is confused as to why his dad is not here, but he is too young to understand. All I can do is assure him that dad will be back, but that's just not enough for a 3 year old. Its very emotional to hear him ask for daddy, but I have to be strong for all of us. I now realize how much I "really" love him and I know that he would be proud of how brave I am taking all of this!
Thanks for listening! We can get through this LADIES!!

I'm glad they helped :-) This really is a good life for families - it can be hard adjusting to it, but once you do, and you get through these first few months, there will be so many amazing, positive things for you all :-)

You said he left on the 1st of October right? If that is the case then he graduates way before the 21st because my SR didint levae until the 25th of October, and If it is the 1st of November then he may graduate on the 28th but im not really sure. Have you spoken with his parents yet? Have they heard from them at all? Are you on good terms with them?
