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 ses_monroe on October 27, 2010 at 2:18pm: HI ladies, A school graduation from Corps school was October 6th. My sailor is currently at FMTB in NC. He says it's about as bad as BC if not worse. They get 9 hour straight beat downs regularly. After this he's heading to Pensacola for C school. More training... Hope everyone is doing great!

Comment by Kim on October 26, 2010 at 11:00pm: Sounds like a lot of the guys are on the West coast...how did my son end up in the East! Two more days and I will see him and then he gets 11 days leave. Can't wait to see where he's been for the last 4 months! See you in Virginia Janis!

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on October 26, 2010 at 5:57pm: Hi YA ALL!
My guy finishes you his A school next week adn Hopefully we'll get to have him home for a few days. (I'm guessing about 10-14) and then he's off to Lemoore Cali. WOW! from the heat into the fry pan but He should enjoy it. His cousin just moved out that way in Summer and he's like 4 hours away.
Dan took a drive down this past wekend to P'cola and got to spend time with sailor boy and he and a couple of buddy's wanted to go see a movie. SO they did that. P'cola is expensive to get around in if you don't have a car.
Oh and anyone want to start a business? Sailor boy can't wait to have Chipotle when he gets home. There are none there. Image that.

Comment by Jan1 on October 26, 2010 at 4:48pm: Kim- It seems like June was so far away as we were waiting to go to the PIR and now we're getting ready to go to C school graduation already! Getting David's room all ready - just had the carpets cleaned. I'll start packing tomorrow - looks like the weather will be nice.
Judy - Camp Pendleton is near where we used to live - Huntington Beach. Nice area - nice weather too!
Good to see some comments on this site - I miss all of the activity and news updates!

Comment by JudyB. on October 25, 2010 at 11:43pm: Kim, that is such Great News for Jake. That is the so good that he loves the state he's stationed in. So looks like things are just falling into place for him!!

Well after graduation of A school T was grad n go to Camp Pendelton, CA He, as All Corpsman will go through the 8 week course of FMTB( Field Marine Force). Then their off to their respective stations.

Well everybody, Please keep coming back...I miss you All and our group!!

Olga, How you doing out there?!

Comment by Kim on October 25, 2010 at 9:25pm: Hey! You all are all still out there! Judy, what is FMTB at CP? I love all the abreviations the Navy uses...it takes me forever to figure it out! Pam, I'm glad Eric likes Washington, it is a beautiful state! Tess, I can relate. Jake calls every once in a while just to make sure I'm still here! My son did 12 weeks of A school and then went on to C school for 6 weeks. He will actually be finishing this Friday. He and Jan1's son have been through all of this since bootcamp! Then they got orders for after C school and both of them are assigned to the USS Enterprise! Janis and I are meeting in Virginia Beach to watch them both graduate and then they both get leave! Life and the Navy has been very good to Jake. He has yet to start "working" though! Hope everyone is doing great- keep in touch! Doesn't boot camp seem such a long time ago?

Comment by JudyB. on October 25, 2010 at 1:19pm: Good Morning Kim, Tess, I'm happy to see you all coming back to where we all started. Well T is in FMTB at CP. He classed up on Oct 13th. He says it starts out like bc but then the hell begins. lol How have you ladies been?!

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on October 25, 2010 at 11:25am: Well, I'm still here. I guess the it's quiet because everyone's doing well and the drama has died down a bit :) My son is back to calling me only once in a while when he needs something -- that's a good sign! How are you doing Kim?

Comment by Kim on October 24, 2010 at 9:43pm: Hey, anyone still out there???

Comment by Kim on September 16, 2010 at 8:14pm: Hi everyone! My son graduated A school today, along with three others that were in bootcamp with him. He stays where he is at until C school starts. They weren't told when that will be so he is on "hold"! Hope everyone is doing great!
