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."

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 18, 2017 at 7:03pm: 300 Camp Lejeune Marines and their corpsmen landed in Norway Monday. U.S. troops are to stay in Norway for a year, with the current batch of Marines being replaced after their six-month tour is complete. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-norway-usa-military-idUSKBN1501CD

Comment by AdamS mom on December 28, 2016 at 2:05pm: My corpsman starts FMTB January 8th. He has been at Camp Lejeune since October doing odd and end jobs. He did receive a challenge coin from the XO of 2nd Medical because he has been on every work crew since he arrived. So proud of my corpsman

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 2, 2016 at 10:16pm: Carol - here is the link with the information and requirements for having a car at FMTB: http://www.trngcmd.marines.mil/Units/South-Atlantic/FMTB-E/Students...

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 2, 2016 at 10:09pm: Is he going to be stationed at Camp Lejeune, or is he attending FMTB? Either way, he is allowed to have a car.

Comment by Carol on December 2, 2016 at 10:00pm: Tmy son will coming to Camp LeJeune in the next month. Does anyone know when he will be allowed to have a vehicle once he gets there??

Comment by Barbara on December 2, 2016 at 1:23pm: Happy Holidays!

Comment by mikes mom on December 2, 2016 at 10:14am: Good answer Marcy

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 2, 2016 at 4:56am: Note to all Camp Lejeune Moms - Navyformoms.com is being updated and upgraded, and part of this effort is making room for new members. To do so, members who have not been active since 12/1/15 will be removed but will be able to re-join. If you haven't posted since that date, please do so right away. This is all part of an effort to make Navyformoms.com the best it can be for everyone, seasoned moms and new members alike. Thanks and watch for good things to happen!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 2, 2016 at 4:55am: Hi Carol and sorry for the delay. It's sort of impossible for us to give you a definitive answer about classing up. However, I can tell you that at Camp Johnson, where FMTB is located, I'm told that the barracks have been updated. They're busy with study and being in the field, and hard as it might seem to believe, I've never met a corpsman who wouldn't go back and do FMTB all over again, mud and all. You can follow along at the Facebook page for FMTB-East https://www.facebook.com/FMTBeast/?fref=ts

Comment by Carol on October 31, 2016 at 11:02pm: My son was given his orders for Camp Jeune after December 12th. Can someone direct me to information about when he will actually go from A school to Camp Lejune. It seems that I read somewhere that the living conditions are not good at Camp Le Jeune. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!
