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."

Carol - here is what the info at the link says. There is a large MCEX (Marine Corps Exchange, like the NEX) on Camp Lejeune to purchase items he doesn't bring, and taxis on Camp Johnson to take them over there and there is also a Walmart in Jacksonville.
Please report with a complete seabag. NOTE: Only the black web belt with plain silver buckle (E-6 & Below) or khaki web belt with plain gold buckle (E-7 & above) is authorized to be worn with NWUs while at FMTB-E.
At the conclusion of the training day, based upon your academic and physical performance, and conduct, liberty will be granted so bring proper civilian attire. When you leave the base, you will be in proper civilian attire. Proper civilian attire is defined as clothing that does not bring discredit upon yourself or the military. Clothing that is frayed or in disrepair is not authorized. Also, if your pants or shorts have belt loops, you are expected to wear a belt. PT gear will not be worn as civilian attire.
Remember, there are plenty of Marines and Sailors out there ready to correct inappropriate attire. You represent the Navy, in and out of uniform, so take pride in your personal bearing and appearance. Additionally, the items listed below can be purchased upon arrival or you may bring them with you:
- Whistle
- Glow Belt (Yellow plastic type)
