OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Received two letters yesterday and she sounded great. Said she is looking forward to a nice bubble bath with no time Limit!
She also heard there was a Popeyes Chicken in Great Lakes and wanted some of That! We are originaly from NOLA so that is the chicken of choice There!
She also said the div is coming along great and earned their first flag and that their test scores as a div have been great.

I got 3 letters in the mail last night. He sounds really good, says their division is doing really well. He is excited for graduation, wants us to take him out for fast food over the weekend. :) Can't wait to see him and all the recruits in our division.

This week is "hell week" for our guys and gals!
They shoot pistols, take their pictures (droooooool), and the nukes and undesignated get assigned their rates!
Also, from what I know from the other divisions, our division should be able to write on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, starting if not already, soon! So keep checking your boxes for those letters :)

Yeah I understand why they teach the classes..it's just like, gee, thanks!
And can I just say that I wonder how military people have such bad financial struggles? As far as I'm concerned, the military pays extremely well. Seems like most of those cases would be people living well beyond their means.

Sorry for the double post, forgot to add some things:
Yeah mine said the swim qual, academic test, and PFA were no problem for him.
They just took a course on family planning. They told them that having kids was the most terrible idea in the world. They also take a course at some point about why getting married is the second most terrible idea in the world. Pretty insulting if you ask me, but whatever.

I don't think I posted any divisional news from my phone call last Friday, 1/14.
They got fitted for their dress uniforms already, they are learning to do a little better at working together, and they earned their academics flag.

Skype is so fun!
Off topic, but I did a little fun thing on Skype. My mom's dog is super obedient and I wanted to see if she would obey me on Skype. Sure enough, she listens even from miles and miles away ;)

I have come across mail my uncle sent home from BC back in 85 and I couldn't imagine how slow it was for them and to only get a postcard. UGH!!! We are so lucky now! And soon they will be able to have their cell phones back and laptops too! I need to sign up for Skype now. :)

I got a letter!!! Finally!!!! He said he is really good friends with someone with the last name Miller. He even asked me to see if his mom was on here so if any of you have the last name Miller please private message me and we can talk!!
The letter was dated 01/11/11 and he says they are on 2-2. Seems like a very slow process. He did say the days are going by quicker and he has been fitted for his dress and service uniforms. Can't wait for graduation. Sounded really upbeat this time. And he is over whatever cold he had. Thank Goodness!! Hope everyone gets a letter today!!!

Just think...our recruits are in the phase of training now where it starts to become easier and better. I hope they are all doing well!
