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 medic mom on January 29, 2012 at 6:01pm: I am proud to say that my son just started his training at CP. I am very proud of him. I cannot wait to hear from all of you gals on the progress of your kids here.

Comment by CalifMom on January 28, 2012 at 12:35pm: My son is the current group and it has been really confusing as to what they are doing. Thanks for the information. It is really helpful.

Comment by Yenni24 (Ship11div196) on January 28, 2012 at 3:38am: all week I've heard how tired my hubby is...just talked to him right now and he sounds exhausted but he was laughing and joking with the other guys..made me feel a little bit better..this is WAY better than boot camp the 1st time around!! Can't wait for graduation though!!

Comment by IDCmom#1 on January 24, 2012 at 8:06pm: Your husbands and sons will end this course with muscles they didn't know they had. My son had doubts he would be able to finish the course because he was older and not as in shape as younger corpsmen. I was a nervous wreck during the school, expecting a call telling me he was coming home. How proud I was to watch him lead the sailors out at graduation. It took a great deal physically and mentally to make it through the class. Still no s'mores but maybe some kumbayas after graduation.

Comment by medic mom on January 22, 2012 at 11:00am: Just wanted to say hello. My son arrived at Camp Pendelton last week. I am proud of him.

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on January 22, 2012 at 1:58am: Does anyone have a link or a list of what the guys will do during their FMTB weeks? Like a break down of events.

Comment by Aaronswife on January 20, 2012 at 9:16pm: My husband checked into fmtb today!

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on January 20, 2012 at 7:58pm: Let the next journey begin.

Comment by zStratMom on January 15, 2012 at 10:23am: For my son, who was eligible for "brown bag" status due to his home being local to CP, he was able to come home after two weeks. He didn't always do so due to the planned activity and the need to study (more difficult with a 3 year old and infant!). There are run rules around the time to report in the morning; be aware your sailor will have limited time to "spend" with you, even if they are "with" you. Laundry, study, uniform prep all will consume some of this "off" time. There's a link to a book with the experience and what to expect - I'll see if I can find it for you today.
