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."

As most of you who are following my posts about Yvonne, she had a set back a couple of months ago. Dr. Shuff sent her for a CT Myelogram which came back clear except for the top two vertebrae. So he ordered an MRI to check out those levels. Unfortunately, when she went for the MRI lying on her back hurt so much she couldn't lay still so they sent us home. So the Doctor has ordered another MRI under IV sedation. But that probably won't be until the middle of December. Until then we simply wait. She hurts quite a lot and is walking very slowly. Sometimes she has great difficulty making her legs move at all. She is working very hard to maintain a positive outlook and to keep her eyes focused on Jesus Christ. We are trying very much to continue holding on unswervingly to the hope we profess because we know that He who promised is faithful! (Hebrews 10:23). And we have believed and profess that God told us from Jeremiah 30:17 that He would restore Yvonne to health and heal her wounds. Please continue to pray for her.

I am so sorry to hear of the setbacks Yvonne has been experiencing.  This has definitely been a long difficult process for her.  I truly hope they can figure out what's causing these issues when they do the new MRI.  You both continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

John, Thank you for sharing this update. I understand the struggle to stay positive when everything around seems in opposition to that. I will share your post with the Christian Navy Moms group. As B'sNukeMom said, both of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
