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."

Love the wedding pictures Kathy....looks like the wedding was beautiful!! Will they get better housing once they are in Maine since they will only be there several months? "T" was going somewhere today to figure out if they are shipping his car, get per diem or what. So many unanswered questions.
Hope everyone else is doing good and your sailors are ready for their new Murphy adventure.

Much excitement for our family this month. Our son reenlisted April 4th aboard the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor. Yesterday he received his official orders for the USS Michael Murphy. He is glad to finally know the dates he will report to San Diego and Maine. He will serve on the USS Michael Murphy until sometime in 2015.
If you have a facebook account be sure to check out the USS Michael Murphy page, there are some recent pictures that show the progress of the ship.

Welcome Nancy! Yeah for Molly's adopt a Sailor. That was exciting when the Crommelin was adopted. I sent care packages and about 100 handmade cards...it was interesting getting thank yous from my son's shipmates! "T" did receive a pillowcase and loved it, his grandmother is a quilter and make "T" pillowcases as well so he knew how much time and loves goes into each one.
Kathy's son is also on the Crommelin, I'm not sure if he was there last year or not though.
Glad to see our group is growing! This will be an exciting journey for us as well as our Sailors.
