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."

Please, Realize that I'm only speaking for my cub who is a Reservists!! They are a total different ball game....the training is exactly the same as an enlist man(with enlist man) but the contracts are different. My cub has a 6 yr. contract as a Reservist with the Navy...his orders come on Navy time!!

He was only there for 5 months, but it seemed like an eternity. I didn't realize how much I would worry, but it's so volital over there and I found myself sitting on pins and needles much of the time especially when you would hear of someone loosing their life. I would worry everytime the phone rang or someone strange would come to the door. I just hope that he doesn't have to go back. When he originally received his orders it was for 3 years in CP. When he gets back he'll be working at the BAS and just waiting to see if he'll get another assignment. Maybe this time it will be a MEU.

How long was he in Afghanistan? Does he know what he will be doing next?
-

Mine went directly from Corps school to CP where he went thru FMTB and then a few months later he deployed to Afghanistan. He's returning next week and I'll be going done for the Homecoming. Can't wait to see him again.

Jeanette...Oh, okay, my son is also in CP, he is not sure when the next FMTB class is going to start, so he is waiting. Thanks

OKSoonermom2010....Not all Corpsman go the 29 Palms. They go wherever they're needed. Mine is in CP.

Do all Corpsman go to 29 Palms?

Hi Jacqueline, What a short/fun trip...and I'm so happy that K liked his new/used car, now he has motorized legs to get from point A to B and all he has to do is jump in no more waiting for a taxi...and paying those fees.
Well T tells me last night that he scored a 90% on test 11 and test 12 on Friday then he is finished. Yeah!! He said he will receive his caduceus on Friday...then he will feel satisfied.
Well since he went reservist and his contract says go to bc then to Corpsman A school then off to fmtb. He is hoping CP because his marine battalion will most likely be at CP and then off to 29 Palms one weekend a month for training. Usually that's the drill but with the budget situation who really knows at this point...

Good evening everyone... Just checking in. I just got done speaking with DJ. Looks like they are going out for a few days so I won't have contact with him. He is going off to his next station Wednesday so we changed our plans to arrive earlier and hopefully we will be able to spend more time with him. I hope everyone is doing well.

Good Morning All, I have been following this group while my cub is in A school...Thank you all for answering the questions I have and others...
Well, I can now post with assurance that T has past every test with a gpa of 87% up to today, he will take test 11 today and 12 on Friday of this week then clinicals and then who knows...looks like well have to see the first Oct. for the new Military budget!! to see when he will class up in fmtb...sure am hoping for CP is only a 4 hr drive to see T.
Just a thought...for all who have or will have a sailor stationed at CP. It would give me great pleasure to host a sailor and or Family to check out the central coast of Cali anytime...
