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."

Wow, that is hard chasing after kids with a hurt leg. Bobby is feeling better. Finally went back to work today. I didn't want to hide things from her but didn't want more on her plate. Tough decisions sometimes.
Mariah has sounded so much better in the last few letters. Think she finally has her bearings and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. She said they had done some fun things lately so she was really excited about that. She made friends that keep her "sane" her words.
Hope you are feeling better and the kids are doing ok knowing they will see their daddy real soon.

I pray for your family also. Time has gone by fast and slow. I miss her alot, we have never been apart. Some letters she sounds good and some letters she sounds terrrible. Just a roller coaster of emotions I guess. She said alot of the girls fight amongst themselves. She tries to mind her own business as much as possible in that situation. She has made some friends so that is helping her. She should find out this week her husband has been really sick. I wasn't sure whether to tell her but knew she would be angry with me if I didn't tell her. He is getting better but had a scare, he had gotten sick and real dehydrated. Trip to the ER. Well 17 more days!!!

We only heard from her once except for mail. She has written often but not much info in the letters. She doesn't have much info on school or A school. I guess they have them on a need to know basis without needing to know much at this point. She almost didn't let her stay in the A2E program as she was missing a class that was never on her list but she tested out of it. She was so stressed right before she left.
So excited they have less than three weeks. I am sure you are even more excited. Has to be hard having a husband there. It is a great opportunity for them...

That is interesting about the A2E professors. Mariah hadn't said anything about that at all. Will pray for a safe and fun journey for you. It is 24 more days so hopefully they will be strong....
Thanks for the prayers. Asked my whole Sunday school class to pray for her yesterday. Hope to actually meet you while we are there. We will be staying at the Ramada.

We are doing ok also. She was married about a month before she left so her husband is really struggling.
She is just so sick and refuses to go to the doctor cause of fear of being held back. I think she probably has pnuemonia.
I know your husband told her they could study in Florida. She has done really well so far and we are so proud of her just can't wait to see her in 25 days.
Are you flying to PIR? It was a little cheaper for us to fly into Milwaukee just for a heads up.

My daughter left the same day and she also is in the A2E program. I have requested you as a friend. I live in Glendale so we can at least see what we the other person may know... My daughter is also in division 280 and going to Pensacola. I may have seen you at Meps that day, I did see a lady with 2 children while we were waiting around.
