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 JudyB. on March 27, 2011 at 10:41am: Welcome Mariann, Your corpsman is arriving at a perfect time of the year to train in Camp Pendleton, California. This 2 month journey will test your cubs endurance, mental and physical abilities and absolutely little to no sleep! But the reward is so well worth it!! Communication with your cub eases up a bit with intermittent calls a night but more freely on weekends!

We look forward to getting to know you and your corpsman and someone will always be here when ever you needs us!

Comment by Pam on March 27, 2011 at 10:05am: Welcome to the new members of the next class. The training is very demanding physcially and mentally. Here's the website to check out and get more info.

Mariann - the only thing we didn't get a chance to do while my son was at Camp P was skype. They go back to living in close quarters so not much privacy.

Comment by MrsS on March 25, 2011 at 7:12pm: I became FMTB moving service on Wednesday night! I hope everyone enjoyed the ceremony. The video was, well, an eye opener! I will be staying in this group, my Corpsman is attached to the Amphibious Unit, about 100 yards from FMTB.

God Bless those who are traveling around the world :)
