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."

USS Shoup

 

We will be doing the USS Shoup the Week of March 25th to the 29th. There are a total 304 on this ship.

 

Please let Sue or I know how many you can send, also if you want to put snacks or anything in the boxes they would enjoy it.

 The command is NOT part of the 304 count.

 

Ladies just heard from the CMC, if there is any way you can send some snacks ( any kind) they could use some treats. The CO, XO, and CMC are not telling the crew about the PCs till they get there. Please make sure a HAE label is on each box so they can pull them from the mail quickly.

Here is a note I received today.

Dear Birdie Galbraith,
 
                My name is FC2(SW) Cxxxx, Gxxx. I am currently on deployment and the lucky recipient of a pillow case that was made by Marcus and Michele Mundy. As a first time father in the navy, I appreciate the gratitude and support you have given me.
 
Thank you,
FC2(SW) Cxxxx, Gxxx

got this from the CMC this afternoon.  Here's to you all!

Sue and Ray Lamberson,

 

From the deepest part of my heart, reserved for dearest friends and closest family, I cannot thank you enough.  I’m a mean old Master Chief with 25 years of service in the greatest Navy in the world and it takes a lot to make me tear up.  Watching my Sailors who have been gone from their families and homes for 3 months with 7 more ahead of them made me have to walk away and spend some time in my office to compose myself. 

 

It wasn’t just the pillowcases, which were amazing, it was the notes, the cards and the sheer outpouring of love for those young men and women who are essentially strangers to you and those who did this great deed.

 

My only hope is that I could get the e-mail address of everyone who was involved in the process so that I may thank them personally.  According to your letter, they were Susan, Marcia, Ginnie, Nancy, Carol, Ally, Birdie, Pat, Jodie & Maryellen  as well as obviously both of you.  If they are not comfortable giving me their address, I would greatly appreciate if you could forward them my e-mail. 

I was humbled by your organization today.  I only wish I could thank each and every one of you in person so that you could see how deeply you have moved me.

 

I am enclosing some pictures of our crew as they get their pillow cases.

 

Hooya!

 

Very respectfully,

CMDCM(SW) Rick Hxxxx

Command Master Chief

USS SHOUP (DDG 86)

When he gives permission for the photos, I'll post.  But here is a fun one and it came from Birdie:

Mrs. Lamberson,
We would be honored if you posted the photos on your website and in your next newsletter.
Again, thank you!!!

Very respectfully,     Rick                                   So ENJOY!
