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 DramaSoul on December 5, 2012 at 5:49pm: We stayed at Ward Lodging on base. It was clean, comfortable and the service was the BEST I have experienced in a very long time. It was affordable, like the Navy Lodge was at GL. Congrats on all the new Devil Docs!

Comment by Navy2011Mom on December 5, 2012 at 11:52am: Hi CindyLou61... I'm so sorry, but I don't have an info. on hotels in the area. You might want to look at the Camp Pendleton website (www.pendleton.marines.mil) or you could call their Public Affairs Office (Camp Pendleton Community Relations: (760)-725-5569) and they might have suggestions.

Take care!!

Comment by cindylou61 on December 4, 2012 at 3:50pm: Thank you to both of you for doing the work to get this info...Can't wait for next Thursday! Any recommendations for an inexpensive hotel? My son was going to make reservations for us on Sunday to get the military discount but time got away from him and he forgot and now they are out in the field until Thursday :-/

Comment by Amac23 on December 4, 2012 at 3:42pm: I just got off the phone and was going to post the same thing! Haha. Thanks for all the congrats- I am so proud of him and so excited!!

Comment by Navy2011Mom on December 4, 2012 at 3:26pm: I just heard back from the FMTB Public Affairs Office and got the info. on the graduation next week. The ceremony is set to begin at 10am and will be outside in the bleachers (weather permitting.) She said that parking is sometimes an issue, so she said that getting there by 9am is a good idea. Dress is casual since it is expected to be outside (jeans and tennis shoes was what she suggested.) There will be a video of their entire time while at FMTB. It will be on sale in one of the classrooms in Valor Hall to the right when you go in. There is a Corpsman Museum upstairs (she said it is the only museum for Corpsmen.) Also, she said this will be an EXTRA special graduation as they will be having a Commanding General speaking and a special band performing.

Can't wait until next Thursday!!!

Comment by DramaSoul on December 3, 2012 at 10:35pm: We adopted my son's buddy because his parents couldn't make it. We had so much fun that weekend! I had forgotten just how much food two 20-something young men can consume.

Comment by IDCmom#1 on December 3, 2012 at 4:31pm: Amac, it is the I-5 exit for Camp Pendleton right at Oceanside. You won't get lost. I get lost driving around the block and didn't get lost.

Comment by DramaSoul on December 3, 2012 at 12:15am: Amac23....I can't believe it's time for his graduation already!!! Oh my. Wow, this year has flown by.
