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 2, 2012 at 11:55pm: Yep....it's a left at the main gate. As to a restaurant....hmmm...there are some. Ask your Corpsman. They usually know all of that. We ended up going off base to a great Thai restaurant that my son and his buddy knew but I couldn't tell ya' how to get there!

Comment by DramaSoul on December 2, 2012 at 11:50pm: Amac23....when I was there it was about a block or two away from Devil Doc Hall. There is a building (although we were outside since it was 28 Sept and hot!). I think it says Field Medical Training Battalion on the building. Devil Doc Hall as you know is their barracks. There was plenty of room!!

Comment by Amac23 on December 2, 2012 at 11:48pm: Thanks, Docsmom! Sorry for being a pain, but I don't even know where maingate is, hahah. Is there a point of reference I can use? The FMTB website is no longer up. I am also looking for a restaurant to celebrate at!

Comment by IDCmom#1 on December 2, 2012 at 11:47pm: Amac, it is absolutely a breeze to get there. Come in main gate, turn left at light (right after you come in gate), and follow signs to the school house (think signs will say FMTB graduation or something like that).

Congrats to your loved one on graduating this physically tough course.

Comment by Amac23 on December 2, 2012 at 11:36pm: Well, I did get some answers. I was told 9am on the 13th and its open invite, but I am not sure exactly where on base it is. And it's a big base!

Comment by Navy2011Mom on November 28, 2012 at 2:40pm: Amac23... I asked my son about the time just last night. He said it would be between 1000 and 1300, so he expects it to start around 1100 (of course, he isn't a details person either, so take that with a grain of salt.) Also, he said there is no guest list and no limit to the number of guests he can have. I tried to look at the FMTB West website, but it no longer seems to exist. I have a call into the FMTB Public Affairs office to get the correct time and other info., so I'll let you know once I hear back.

Comment by Amac23 on November 27, 2012 at 3:01pm: Does anyone have any 12/13 grad info? I still don't know what time it is, or if we need to submit a guest list, etc. Maybe no one knows. And maybe my husband is just not a details person ;)

Comment by DramaSoul on November 25, 2012 at 2:33pm: TexasMomof2....I agree...no rhyme or reason! The lesson I am continually learning is to just go with the flow (not MY style at all!!!). My son absolutely LOVES the Navy. It brings a smile to my face because of the lessons I am learning as a result of his choices. LOL!!

Comment by TexasMomof2 on November 25, 2012 at 12:53pm: NormaH, there often isn't a rhyme nor reason, that we are aware of, to what happens. The Navy will assign our Sailors to where they are needed. The barracks apparently needed work; hence, moving a group of them.

Comment by NormaH on November 25, 2012 at 11:17am: My son arrived at Pendleton and was in the barracks near the hospital, but he and some others were moved to barracks near FMTB training. Wonder if this was a housing issue? The others near the hospital are getti g to intern there, but the relocated guys are working in barracks and that area. I hate he is away from hospital!
