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."

My son is aboard the USS Michael Murphy. He arrived in Virginia on Sept. !2, after a 12 day leave. This is is very first assignment and I cannot tel you how proud his brother, sister, and I are of him to be assigned this ship named after a courageous young man. I wish I could be at the commissioning,but I ahve recently had some serious health issues and I my doctor won't let me travel that far. However, I will be there in spirit, wishing all the sailors of the USS Michael Murphy the best.

Ha ha, I have no idea what an FC is or where E5 is on the list. My son started out as a cook just to get in he was in such a hurry and now has several jobs I understand. I am thrilled to meet another mom though! Did your son sign on for 6 or more or did he just reup?

I am just over reacting, he is a Big Boy,It is just the first time he has been away,Only been on a deep sea boat in Key west,so I didn't know if he would get sea sick? I guess being on a ship=being sick ( I really like that) thanks, so true.

Mother and others......Have you requested your "Letter of Recognition" from your sailor's Mayor? Any Responses yet? I know there have been quite a few request sent out and a few responses. I have received 25 governor's letters at this point. I am working on sending second requests to get the remaining states. Excited to start putting all of the letters together.
