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."

I agree when this is all a new thing, and there is so much to learn, this is a great resource. So much information here and met some great people along the way too. My diver son is currently in SD. Loves his job.
I will answer any questions you have if I can mom of nate. Feel free to ask away.

WOW, 22 years Dolores. That is terrific. Many thanks for his commitment and dedication. I know my diver loves his job, I can see him staying through retirement ~ but we'll see, he is only 22 yo

My diver graduated from dive school in August 2011. He spent three years at NAS Jacksonville and is in Rota Spain for two years working with EOD.
The dive community is very small mand pretty close-knit. I treasured this site in the very beginning for the info and support. It is still a great place to communicate. Like another navy diver mom said "we are pretty seasoned now."
Please know we are all still here for continuing support and info.

Are any of you also on the FB "Navy Divers Family Support Group"? There are several newbies (from meps to PC) but there are also a few that have certified divers. I'm 2 1/2 yrs in with my Diver but it's still kind of nice to connect with other spec op moms.

Marie- I agree with Caron MS. Used this site very much back when things started, now 5 or so years later, we just know the drill--so to speak. When I went to sign on to answer you, I couldn't even remember my password....

I guess we've all learned to adjust more or less to our sailors being gone. Mine is still in Honolulu, his second assignment there. We have three more years of trips there to see him. Right now we're planning a family trip to be there with him for Christmas. Yay!!
