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."

Two years as well. He leaves next month to go there. How do you communicate with him? That is our biggest concern right now as to communication. And deffinately let me know on how is it being there!

Well, we usually call each other. He will need to get a phone when he gets there. Then I had to talk to my cell phone provider to get a international calling plan which is 40 cents per minute (which is still a lot). It would probably be better for you if you got vontage since you will be in the states for the 2 years. We also face time. The WiFi there isnt all that great so we can't really skype, but face time works decently with there WiFi. I'll definitely let you know!

My sailor arrived about a month ago, once there he got the opportunity to extend one year and have me move out, unfortunately I have a good hog that was very hard to come by therefore I will be staying home, I also plan on visiting over the summer ... Not looking forward to the heat

How do you all communicate Melissa?
Maybe we will bump into each other over there! When do you plan on going? -

We talk through iMessage and FaceTime (from him using wifi, not actual cell service ) every single day. Its awesome, thank goodness for technology. It's been so much easier than expected with an 11 hr time difference . I'll probably be there 2-2.5 weeks in August. I'll be booking my flight any day now
