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."

Hello Tutorlady. This site is not to active. My son I think is a second class diver for his sub. He went to Diver school in Panama City, FL . I believe they have different programs based on what type of diving they will be doing. How long has you son/daughter been enlisted? Well wishes to him and your family.

My Diver graduated from Panama City Florida June 2016, he is currently stationed in yokuska Japan, for 3 years. He has been there for 1 year so far. Yes Dive community is small and close knit, hello to everyone here.

My son has been in for almost 2 years. He is an MM Aux. He is supposed to be going to dive school 10/15/16.  I think he will just be doing diving for his sub but not sure. It looks to me like he will go to Great Lakes the to Panama City. If any one knows please fill me in. Thank you

Dolores  Congratulations on your son's accomplishments! :) Hooyah!

Comment by MM on July 9, 2015 at 10:42am

Vaguely familiar with that drill :)  This public forum is great for people to get to know how things work and connect, but must always be aware it is a public forum. 

It is a very small community, been there for 5 years, two stations...they probably do know each other
