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 jesspoo05 on August 8, 2011 at 2:00pm: Hi all, looks like we have a few new members! yay! welcome! glad you all found this forum!

NavyFiancee-the first few weeks of FMTB i think were the hardest. the communication then starts to pick up again. the tests are hard but certainly not impossible, but they must study study study!! they are also def challenged physically of course but it pays off. when they spend the time if the field, communication is shut off again. and even though you spend the time worrying, they spend the time "playing". yeah it doesn't seem like the most fun sometimes when they are there, but certainly afterwards they come away saying that it was so fun! my bf was going though it in jan and it was really cold in the mornings cause they didn't let them wear coats or anything. so they would just huddle up really close. talk about getting to know your neighbor! but it isn't so bad right now temp wise.

anyways, we are here to answer any questions that anyone may have.

i am living here now cause we knew thats where he was gettting stationed after FMTB. but he is talking about trying to deploy now in the middle of feb of next year with some of his friends... boo!!!!!! but only like 18 days now till we get to go on vacation!! yippie! just me and him and the road!

Comment by LesCorpsmanmama on August 7, 2011 at 11:35pm: Carol: thank you it's so rewarding to see it and can't wait to head out there Sept 30 mills of thx for sharing

Comment by LesCorpsmanmama on August 7, 2011 at 11:37am: Hi Carol: Could you please repost the graduation video...having trouble viewing it or if you can please post YouTube address thank you

Comment by zStratMom on August 7, 2011 at 9:39am: Good Morning. I've just had my membership approved, and searched out FMTB & Camp Pendleton FMTB. As I enter this first post, I grieve for the families of those lost in Afghanistan. I have two sons in the Navy, and know many military--including SEALS. What a loss.

Comment by Joan F on August 6, 2011 at 1:27pm: NavyFiancee my son graduated A school last Dec then went straight to Camp Pendleton and worked in the clinic until he started FMTB in Jan. He was able to come home for a couple of weeks after he got to Camp Pendleton.He then was able to spend a couple of days with us before going to his first assignment at a clinic in Nevada.

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 5, 2011 at 10:49pm: Oooo!! I got a letter today!!! He is passing & keeping up! He says he's older than 95 percent of his ship mates! I know he can do it! I'm working out at home too! He sounds up beat & is growing as a person while there. Appreciating things he takes for granted everyday. I miss him!

Comment by MrsS on August 5, 2011 at 10:33pm: HvnlySno, that is awesome! He will be amazing.

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 5, 2011 at 9:05pm: Well I know my SR will do the same! He's 39!

Comment by MrsS on August 5, 2011 at 7:24pm: Thank Carol. I love watch the FMTB videos. I can't believe my husband did that 35. His age motivated a lot "kids".

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 5, 2011 at 4:16am: Thank you Carol for sharing! Incredible! I am so proud of him and have to admire his courage in choosing to embark on this journey. I am with him all the way...go big or go home! He didn't expect to meet me...had a plan already in the works to commit to this job. I admire his commitment and dedication. Makes me want to do more and be more; for my kids, for myself and for him. He deserves someone who will be loyal, understanding, compassionate, and supportive...lol! He has no idea who he's got! I guess this is a good way to find out...I'll be cheering him on all the way! I'm all excited and inspired now! I'll never sleep!
