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."

WEEK 5
I'm in week 5 and the way my mind functions when it comes to counting down time, by Wednesday I consider the week over. As of now I have 3 more Sundays to go before PIR, I received letters today, I'm hoping his next set is happier. Every letter mentions his desires;) No surprise there. He drew me a calla lily (my favorite flower, he has artistic talent when it comes to things like that) He hasn't received my letters yet since the date on those letters were 10/14 and I didn't mail my letters till the 15th after I received my first letter on the 10/13. He does mention mail should get better with the sending and receiving and what not. I hope so because by this rate, the letter I'll be mailing tomorrow he'll be getting that by graduation week.
I am still thinking about going to PIR even though my doctor thinks that might not be a good idea. He needs me and I can actually feel it as I read his words. My blood sugar has been good, with no work reducing things. I might be keeping my fingers crossed till the 12th or whenever I have my next monthly appt. Hopefully I could get a free pass and schedule a flight and a room, which is probably going to be expensive . I just want to see him, hug him, and have him give me foot massages. God I miss those foot massages especially now that I have pregnancy "kankles" lol.
3 more Sundays! Survived 5!

Yeah it can get like that. What I try to do is make sure that I have something planned every day of the week so that way I was to busy going through my week and then I'd realize it was Friday. The week was practically through and it made the time go by faster.

So glad to hear things are getting better for you, and that you're receiving good news from your doctor! I'll keep you in my prayers, that you'll be able to go to PIR!
