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 NavyWifeMI on October 20, 2013 at 2:07pm: Thanks Kathy! His soft orders indicated he'd be staying at CP. Would that change things?

Comment by NavyWifeMI on October 19, 2013 at 11:12am: Hello all, Does anyone know if the military will relocate me and our child when my husband goes to FMTB training? Or will this happen after he's graduated? Any insight is much appreciated.

Comment by DramaSoul on October 18, 2013 at 6:54pm: One of my son's friends had a car at CP. He was very lucky 'cause he could get off base when they had Liberty!

Comment by Bobbo on October 17, 2013 at 5:32pm: I just saw a photo of my son from the Navy Birthday celebration. He looked 'different'. I happened to have a very similar photo of him during A-school a few months ago. They've only been a Field Med not even week but he has been working out the entire 6 weeks waiting for the class to begin. I can't believe how much he has filled out. I got to see him a couple of weeks ago and thought he was "just a little thicker"...until I compared these two photos. Jeeesh! And since he's much thicker, he just looks so much older and more mature.

Comment by Bobbo on October 8, 2013 at 9:15pm: Ruth, louielou, & Kathy:

That is what I was thinking but shouldn't the holidays only add 1 week? I count 10 weeks between now and 12/12. So I'm counting 2 extra weeks. I'm wondering if class is 8 weeks and an extra week for paperwork and graduation???

Comment by Bobbo on October 8, 2013 at 9:11pm: Ruth, my son was too. Thankfully he was found by some guys who took care of him and put him through some pre-training.

Comment by louielou on October 8, 2013 at 7:47pm: My schedule of classes says graduation date of Dec.12th for this class starting today. Good Luck to all! My son just graduated Sept. 26th.

Comment by velvetlace on October 8, 2013 at 3:49pm: Joshuamom-

Yes, my corpsman son asked to go through FTMB training. He had been at Jacksonville Naval Hospital the last two years, and he wanted to get the experience. He was also told that it was a necessary step for promotions to have the experience. I guess my son is in training with Nan's son, too.

I am proud of my son!

Comment by Bobbo on October 8, 2013 at 1:35pm: Nan, I'm sure they do now! haha. My son has been at CP for awhile. He left SA back in late July. Has your son been there for a bit or did he just get there?

Also, I though grad date was 12-13. But both of ours look to be wrong since that would be10 weeks.Does anyone know???

Comment by Nan on October 8, 2013 at 8:46am: My son has just started FMTB training yesterday. I wonder if our sons are together. His graduation is December 12. I am so proud of him.
