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."

@ashley_christine: I think It's in San Antonio. You can check by visiting the website for Medical Education Training Campus - they have a live-chat function, or you can call them. Here's the link: METC
@luvmysailor - there is a group for Camp Lejeune Moms, you could start there :) Also, maybe try checking out this? meetup.com for Jacksonville NC

The sites for Camp Lejeune and Pendleton are a little different as I recall - I think the CL one has more info (a checklist) regarding what they have to bring. It's the second link in this Discussion: http://www.navyformoms.com/group/CampLegueneMoms/forum/topics/fmtb-...
BTW - you'll also see Lejeune misspelled in that group's name :)

Hi. I have a son graduating from A school as a Corpsman on July 2 and going FMTB reporting to Camp Pendleton. He will get 2 weeks leave and be home for the first time since he left for GLRTC on January 4th. I am sooo excited. I haven't seen him since March. I am going to his graduation and looking forward to having a weekend with him in SA. Haven't missed a graduation of his since he started pre-school! I had wanted to get him a gift and someone suggested a stethoscope but I have no idea which one. Any ideas?

If you have a corpsman in Naples, Italy - or headed there, or has been there, or hoping to go! - pls join & share http://www.navyformoms.com/group/corpsmen-in-naples-italy
There's so much to figure out, from cell phones to car ownership (or not to own), barracks, internet, housing etc :)
