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 OKSoonermom2010 on July 26, 2010 at 3:08pm: Hello, i'm new to this group, my son is in Great Lakes at the moment, but is going to FMTB at Camp Pendelton like in October, I'm nervous about it, how long is FMTB and what happens when he done?

Comment by Mz.T on July 26, 2010 at 2:27am: Ruth VH- thanks for the sock tips.. i will relay that one... my kid is a running fool. he is really enjoying PTing with the Marines.

Jacqueline- Yes I have a lot of family still there. My parents still have a home there. My entire family is planning on going to the fmtb graduation. We are so close. Its only a few hours away from us. We might make it a little family vacation too. I have to soak up as much time as I can with mine. After this training he will be gone for so long.

Comment by Mz.T on July 25, 2010 at 6:31pm: i got a pic too of the sleeping quarters... WOW.. my son is on the very top.. lol.. he will be stationed on Guam after training. he is very excited about that. I was born there. it will give me an excuse to go home.

Comment by Mz.T on July 24, 2010 at 1:52am: My son contacted me today. He moved into his barracks. He starts FMTB classes on monday. Anybody else have a sailor starting FMTB monday?

Comment by PumpkinHead on July 19, 2010 at 5:13pm: My boyfriend will be here in a few weeks! Im excited for him, although i would love to keep him here with me lol...

Comment by vettespace on June 25, 2010 at 9:00am: Hi Jacqueline, my son went to the USO and got a shuttle to CP (he still had to pay for it, but it was much less expensive than going by taxi). My son traveled in his civies, but official check in is with seasonal dress uniform. I'll check with my son and see when he changed and did the official check in.

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on June 22, 2010 at 8:38am: Laurence had his first day in New Orleans. He said it was filled with paperwork. He said that he signed up to stay behind in the event of a disaster. I just hope the base has a safe and secure structure so when the next hurricane blows through, he has a place to stay safe! He has been assigned to work in the physical therapy dept.

Comment by vettespace on June 21, 2010 at 6:39pm: My son's first duty station is the clinic at Great Lakes!!!!!! Not his first choice! It sounds like he'll be able to be assigned to sick call for the clinic at the Recruit Training Command (Tranquility Clinic) which he'll enjoy. He checked in today, so I'll have to see how it went, and if he got the spot at Tranquility that he wanted.

Comment by Margaret_ProudTexasMomof2Sailors on June 21, 2010 at 4:27pm: Vettespace, where did your son go? It just seems so strange that the guys who have been together for so long have now scattered! Laurence was excited to know that a buddy he met in corps school and also went to fmtb with him will also be in New Orleans with him. I look forward to this evening when I can call to see how his first day went.

Comment by vettespace on June 21, 2010 at 3:47pm: Hi Margaret, he's probably in the back row, they were lined up with the shortest in front. I can send a higher resolution pic of 2nd platoon if you like, as well as some of them marching in. Send me your email.
