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."

I just started coming on to the page and looking through the differnet groups out there. My boyfriend is in bootcamp right now. His PIR is June 18th! I can't wait to see him! After that he is going to be in A school to be a Corpsman. I live in AZ but willing to move after we find out where he will be stationed! Hope all of you are having a great day!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 29, 2010 at 3:08am: And what a handsome boy! Mine loves being a corpsman. Welcome to the group!

Comment by Joan/E's Mom on May 28, 2010 at 9:40pm: ohhhhhh !!! Thank you :)

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 28, 2010 at 7:29pm: Congratulations Carrie, great news for your daughter!

Joan - Corps School ({"A" school for corpsmen) is 14 weeks long. After graduation (and hopefully you can go!) they either go on to a "C" school of their choosing, or to their first duty station, or to more training with Field Medical Training Battalion at Camp Lejeune, NC or Camp Pendleton, CA.
There may be a gap between bootcamp graduation and the start of A school, as they wait for enough to 'class up,' in which case he'll be on hold in Great Lakes for what could be a few weeks.
A good group for you right now is http://www.navyformoms.com/group/sailorsinaschoolforcorpsmen , and closer to A school graduation http://www.navyformoms.com/group/corpsmanmomsanddads (a very fun group to join now, just keep in mind these are moms of corpsmen already serving, so questions about A school are better found in the first group).

Comment by Joan/E's Mom on May 28, 2010 at 3:16pm: Hello Everyone, I haven't been on the site for a while. Congratulations on all those wonderful achievements that our sons/daughters are accomplishing. God bless them always!! :)
Question for Marcy - My son graduate 5/14/10. How long is Corpman training, does it start in A school? I am just praying for them all..
Be blessed,Joan

Comment by Diane1954 on May 8, 2010 at 4:38pm: Happy Mother's Day to all.

We got an "early" gift of sorts. Our son told us he is now engaged, but no date set. I am happy for him & do like the young lady. I was surprised, in a way, as I expected this, but not quite so soon. I guess none of us are ready for this when it happens. His young lady doesn't have much of a mom, so I hope I can be there for her when she needs it.

Comment by Diane1954 on May 7, 2010 at 11:11am: I got back from Tampa, FL yesterday from training for my new job. They were going to Fed Ex all my stuff. Guess what? i got a call from Fed Ex. The office put the wrong address on all 4 boxes. i have to go pick up the stuff. But, i can't go until the phone guy gets here to put in the business line. this whole thing has been a comedy of error! Am I having fun yet?
