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."

You are more than welcome and I will pass the word. Let's hope she continues to feel better.

Chels said that your daughter is being really, REALLY good to her during this illness that she has! Thank her for me, and THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

I got a short, 2 sentence email from Chels. She's feeling slightly better, they have her on some kind of medicine that she's not familiar with. Thank you to everyone that had prayers and positive thoughts for my daughter. Also for the info. that you were able to share with me. I'm so appreciative.

Mono is not contagious unless saliva is shared. So not worries about a quarantine. Main symptoms would be swollen lymph nodes and a swollen spleen along with fever and fatigue. She should probably be sent to a ship with an experienced physician. Sounds like a viral infection but the only way to know for sure would be a white blood cell count. I'll say a prayer for her tonight. Tell her to stay hydrated best she can.

this doesn't give me peace of mind that there's not a real doctor on board...she needs professional, medical help.
