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."

Recruits left 9/12
Anyone child, spouse, financ'e left on 9/12 please respond!!
"I can do all thing through CHRIST who strengthen me"
"No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that riseth against me GOD shalt condemn"
I claim Psalm 84:11 that you are blessing Recruits with favor and honor and no good thing will you withhold from him because my walk is blameless.
I claim Habakkuk 2:3 that Recruits vision is for an appointed time. Though it may tarry, we will earnestly wait for it, for it will surely come.

Not yet. Most moms state that it takes 10-14 days. There were 14 traveling with my son out of Houston. Waiting is hard.

You will definitely hear from Tre before I will hear from Ant. It takes about 3 weeks to get mail to Kwaj from the States. I do hope we are fortunate enough to have our sons in the same Ship/Div.

And yes it is hard and scary. Since he left I find myself getting depress and lonely and I have to read my Bible and pray and pray hard and God has been keeping me. I thank him for that. He never fell. I am keeping us and the kids up before the Lord cause we need it.
