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."

Anna, here's a hug. It is amazing how all these boys feels like all our sons. Now my job is keeping my husband calm. God's way again of helping me deal with all of this roller coaster. I assured him that Wade has the luck on his side that they were the first division to go to BS.

Definitely - ironic that I was watching the BS video on line when my cell phone rang.

Matthew 18:20 says that where 2 or more are gathered He is there also. I'm claiming that promise. He is here with us and we are all in agreement that our sons are going to make it thru this.

Moms supporting Moms is the Best!

Thanks, Loree. That would be great if they get to go together. When I saw the area code on my cell phone my heart sunk because I knew it was too early for the call that BS was over. It really was soooo good to hear his voice though (selfish Mom).

My son Wade just called and he has a fever and they have put him on bed rest for tonight. He will join Division 314 and 315 tomorrow for Battle Stations. He sounded sick but he was excited to be able to tell me he passed everything else and just has to complete Battle Stations. I am so sad for him that he can't go through with his Division but he sounded good and excited to get into Battle Stations. It sounded like his RDL talking behind him telling him what to say. It sounded like he said first stage Asthma. I sure hope that isn't what I heard. He kept reassuring me though that he is doing very well with everything and just has to do Battle Stations with the other Division but will graduate with his Division. What a day this is turning out to be for all of us!

I too am praying for all these young men. PFA is their Physical Fitness Assessment. Satan is on the move and is trying to disrupt the lives of our kids and us. Ethan's baby's mother texted me today and informed me that she will now not let Addie fly on the airplane. She won't let her take a 2 hour flight but a 14 hour road trip is fine. Someone has told her that if she flies she'll get the swine flu. Please pray that she changes her mind, otherwise I may be taking the road trip by myself with her because my other children can't get off work an extra day and they will still fly.

Amen

Thanks, Loree. 7 seconds? Now I'm mad.

Loree, my prayers are going strong for Jordan as well as for you. I just called my husband to tell him to do the same. What is PFA? My mother's intuition must have been right when I couldn't sleep after 2:15 this morning. I had all of you on my mind and couldn't shake it. With a knot in my throat and a pain in my stomach, I thank God I have my job to keep me busy.
