OK, there is something I have never understood. We are lectured about Operational Security (OPSEC), we have all read the rules. Never post or discuss the movements of the troops or the ships... but then you look at the news and by golly, there it is. The Truman and company are leaving Norfolk on Friday. How come OPSEC doesn't apply to the Naval Public Affairs Office but it applies to us?

QuiltLady- If you PM your sailor's division on the ship I can give you the box number. My husband works in the post office on the ship.

Pat L D I sent you a PM earlier this morning. Hope you got it!

My husband is on the ship and yes, am concerned for his safety along with everyone elses but I don't think its necessary for everyone to jump in and down someone's throat (especially the newbies) when they ask questions that can't be answered due to OPSEC. I think once is enough.

Does anyone know if our sailors can get passports any faster because they are sailors? How long does it take? My son is now in the process of applying for his. I wish someone would of advised him to do this say.... after bootcamp so he would have been prepared.

jde- I went to the ship the other day to drop off some books I wanted to donate to the United Through Reading program and I believe the place that we took them to was a small library of some sort so I want to say yes but I'm not sure.

Great Idea for the PSP sunshine!
Grace - Sometimes they do stay with that ship depending on their job, my husband is not assigned to a specific ship due to his particular job. Which has a very bad downside for us because he could get back from this cruise and 2 weeks later they could call and say he has to go out on another ship. The likelihood that would happen is very slim but there is always that possibility.
Sunshine- do you know if they have a place to check out books on the ship? This is my husbands first time so he really doesn't know what to expect but he heard there is some sort of book swap or something like that.

If your Sailor likes to read, they can have books or I am thinking about getting my husband a PSP before he goes. They can play video games and movies on it when they are in their racks. Just some ideas!
