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 MrsS on May 22, 2011 at 12:09pm: My girls like to watch the FMTB video we bought at graduation. It always looks like the Corpsman are having fun. They might whine, but it always helps to remember how much they love their job!

Comment by MrsS on May 20, 2011 at 4:47pm: Hey Jess, on the 10th of June we are moving to Pendleton, kinda of your opposite problem, solved.

Comment by jesspoo05 on May 20, 2011 at 3:44pm: here we are at another friday!! we must be like have way done with this session of FMTB right? congrats to all!! and prayers and strenght for the rest of the time!!

finally got the offical word for transfering to my new store. june 17th will be my first day! i cant wait! means i get to drive 40 less miles each day for work! i hope it goes fast! i would really like to stop filling up for gas every 4 days. now it is going to be every 7 days!! yay! almost 1/2 the savings!! hope all is well with all of you!!!

Comment by jesspoo05 on May 16, 2011 at 1:09pm: JLC- so glad you got a call! it is so much more reasuring then nothing at all. even though that is the saying "no news is good news". but a simple "im safe, i love you" does sooo much more to put my mind at ease!

Comment by Pam on May 15, 2011 at 11:19am: My son brought some of those MRE's home after FMTB and made us sample a few. Boys will eat anything!

JLC - glad he made it safe and sound. It will take him a few weeks to get his bearings. You've got a really bad time difference to deal with having him there!

Comment by mom22militarymen on May 15, 2011 at 7:08am: Thanks Eurekamom. My son thought the meals, ready to eat were really good. He seemed pleasantly surprised by that. I have just one son in the Navy at FMTB, my other son is an Army reservist who has always liked the meals., ready to eat : )

Comment by eurekamom on May 14, 2011 at 8:52pm: Hi mom22 and proud as can be: My son will be finishing FMTB the same time your sons are. He apparently had a good time in the field this week! This kid started out liking to get dirty, and apparently will continue that way forever!

Comment by proudascanbe HM mom on May 13, 2011 at 8:29pm: welcome mom22militarymen. My son is FMTB and will be graduating the same time as your son. I live in Washington State and plan on driving down for graduation. I'm lucky enough to have family living in Southen California.
