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 Regina (SHIP 02, DIV 911) on July 10, 2011 at 2:22pm: Mom22 - I always stay at Marriott! They have the cleanest rooms. My son starts FMTB on August 1st. Looking forward to the ceremony too :-)

Comment by mom22militarymen on July 10, 2011 at 2:19pm: My husband and I went out for the FMTB graduation on June 24, 2011 and were honored to be there. Our son looked great as did all the Corpsmen that day. The ceremony was wonderful and all the guests and visitors were beaming with pride for their Corpsmen. My husband and I were moved by the ceremony and awed by the hard work those men did to get through the training.

We stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn in Oceanside. It was about a 15 minute ride to the base, easy to get to. The hotel was pretty new, beautiful, clean and the customer service was great.

To all of you who have sailors who graduated that day, Congratulations.

Comment by jesspoo05 on July 7, 2011 at 8:54pm: eurekamom- so glad you got to go! it is a nice ceromony! congrats to your son!
grandboboo-thanks for the info. i didn't even hear about it! their families are in our prayers!

Comment by eurekamom on July 7, 2011 at 11:10am: My son graduated FMTB on the 24th, and it was a very nice ceremony. I stayed at Ward Lodge, which is right on the base. It is not close to the schoolhouse where the ceremony was held, but I liked it because that way the morning of the ceremony I was already through security. I had a very nice room with refrigerator and microwave, etc. and it was (I think) $65 per night. Can't beat it!

Comment by jesspoo05 on June 30, 2011 at 1:30pm: so i know this is about a week late. but i havent had a internet connection. if there is anyone still on here from the last FMTB class that just finished.... CONGRATS!!!!!!! I don't think it was really even remembered on here really. i just wanted to make sure that we take notice that our loved ones accomplished yet another gruleing training!! they have all come along way!! and good luck to the next class!
hope all is will with all of you.
i started my new location for my job. closer to home! yay! but i am not really loving my hours. i hope they can hire some more people soon so i can work morinings. when i work nights i can't see my bf at all since he lives on base and i live off. which is the WHOLE reason i moved to ca in the first place..... oh well.... all in God's hands!! trying to remember that!

Comment by mamawalrus on June 23, 2011 at 12:15am: ‎(N4M's can you help pass this on?) ATTENTION MARINES IN SAN DIEGO - Westboro Church is claiming to be in San Diego tomorrow protesting the memorial of LCpl. Jason D. Hill. Please go and show your support for this fallen Marine and his family, and let the WBC know that we honor and respect those who fight for our country! Thurs., June 23, at 10:15 a.m., Maranatha Chapel, 10752 Coastwood Rd., San Diego, CA.

Comment by Regina (SHIP 02, DIV 911) on June 22, 2011 at 8:04pm: Awe Ruth - very interesting! My son did mention the world voluntold. How do the Marines have total authority over the Navy where they can voluntold our kids? So right after my son finishes FMTB he can be attached to the Marines with EOD or MEU eventhough his orders say Lemoore afterwards?
