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."

Hi M4S, glad your cub is okay and has made it thru training. My cub said the weather was either cold or roasting! I'm going to try and fly out to see the graduation this coming Friday. I'll take as many pics as I'm allowed.

Cub survived all of this weeks activities including the 8 mile hike (uphill both ways) LOL. Said this next week will be mostly cleaning and turning in equipment prior to graduation on Friday. Also said he and others that wish to will get to visit with First Lady Michelle Obama this Sunday afternoon at Camp Pendleton. That should be a different experience with secret service everywhere. Congrats to all the corpsman graduating this coming Friday.

I know that Laurence is excited. Like so many others, Laurence has been in training since Aug. 25, 2009! On June 23, he reports to his first duty station!
I really would love to be there next Friday, but his dad will be there. I will be there in spirit.

Don't quote me on the paint ball guns, but they do shot at each other, but with what I can't remember. I do remember that when Laurence did it while he has waiting, he was "killed" He did say that he enjoyed it! I told people that he went out for target practice and he was the target!
Here's to Friday when we can all talk to our sailors!!!!

Dawn, if your son has not yet started, than he might be out in the field to help out those who are in their final week o training. My son did that while he was waiting. The ones who are waiting are used for target practice. From the way my son explained it, it sounded almost like a bunch of guys playing with paint ball guns in the woods. I know there is more to it, but I was told that it was hard, but fun. They eat and sleep out under the stars.
If you haven't yet, look up FMTB Training on youtube. You can get a better idea of what our boys are doing.

I guess all our boys are excited about the weekend! Laurence was excited about the 96 hour liberty, but said he wasn't excited about duty on Saturday. Now back to practice in the morning!

The cubs attending the current FMST class at Pendleton are in the home stretch with only three weeks to go! Looks like the weather out there is starting to get a little warmer than it's been.

Test five is now out of the way!!!! Laurence passed! Now on to the field for more training and then graduation!
-
-
Happy 19th Birthday to Steven and Laurence!!!!
Good luck to all on test five.

I mailed Laurence's box on Friday. I was told that it will be there on Monday. I put a box of cookies in there for Steven. Laurence said that their racks are close to each other. I wrote Happy Birthday on the box and the post office stamped perishable, so maybe it will get there before the chocolate melts! lol
