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."

My son is currently in A school, set to graduate April 23rd. He has been told he is being assigned to the marines 2nd medical battallion from Camp Leujune. After FMTB , he will be going to Afghanistan and I am scared for him, but have faith that the training he receives will keep him safe.

that is so cool. That is the unit my son is with. Kyle suffered a broken leg and will head back out on the next deployment but Camp LeJeune is a really great base. My suggestion is besides lots of prayers, get to know your FRO, ours at LeJeune is Mark Borie and he is a great guy.
Your son is in good hands, mine is with the 3/6 Lima. -

my daughter will be in the hospital corps after boot camp. She does not get to go to a school until the last of september. She knew from the beginning that she was going to HM school, because that is what she choose to do. Her recruiter told her from the beginning that more than likely she could be working with the marinnes. I was tlod not to worry by a retired marine,they hold utmost respect for the corpsman because in time of need they know that they are the people who will ultimately take care of them. I have even wrote corpsmen in afganaastain. you can do that also just go to www.anysoldier.com click onwhere to send and you can sort names by rhe branches they serve in. Click on there names and it will come up the country they r in and what there job is. Lok up vasquez. she will reply.she both wrote and e-mailed me back. I know what u mean as a mother do like i am pray that they will be safe and happy. Biggest thing is to trust ur chids instincts.

Julie, not every grad goes to FMTB. Mine didn't - he has been on shore duty in Japan for 2 years. He is finally going to FMTB in October and is VERY happy to be going finally. Many grads are sent to other duty stations all over the world. He won't get his written orders until shortly before graduation. Everything before that is just rumor and hearsay...and there is a lot of that!
