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."

Depending on duty assignments, they do get time off for Thanksgiving. If they are in trouble for anything, they should plan on eating in the mess hall.  Checking with son to be sure I am remembering correctly.

My son has been transferred to Camp Pendleton from Jacksonville, FLA.   We are very excited that he is closer to us.  Does anyone know if they close down Camp Pendleton during FMTB training during Thanksgiving?   

Comment by DramaSoul on September 19, 2013 at 12:54am

I agree with Ruth....my son LOVED FMTB!  He does periodic TCCC (Tactical Combat Critical Care) training on the base to which he is now stationed and he loves that too.  :-)

Question, we are driving from Wisconsin to San Diego to visit our son and would like to stay about 2 weeks.  Does anyone know if there is housing instead of a hotel room to rent?  We would love to stay longer as the cold winters in Wisconsin are not fun but finances are tight.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

Comment by IDCmom#1 on September 16, 2013 at 7:40pm

Ruth, are Chris and his new family going to apply for base housing.  I am just so impressed by the housing at Camp P. and I think it helps my d-I-l to be part of the military neighborhood and school as a new Navy wife.

Welcome to the club marriedahoosier. We will all get through this with the support of each other. My son has been at CP for awhile awaiting classing up.

My son got his orders and he will be going to FMTB after A school graduation Oct 13th. He is very happy and hopes to be deployed with the Marines after FMTB. I am a bit scared for him.

I was in a walking boot for my son's FMTB graduation. We got to park in the handicap area. I chose to walk up to the second row of bleachers to be off of the Tarmac since it was sooo hot. I had no
problems!
