OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 Marie ~ Proud Diver Mom on July 7, 2015 at 7:30pm: The group doesn't appear to be very active :( My sailor graduated PC as a diver in August 2013 and is currently in Little Creek. I was wondering if all members of the group are diver moms (or if some of the 156 members are still pre- Panama city). I'd like to connect and get to know some of the other Diver moms :)

Comment by momofasailor on May 13, 2015 at 8:12pm: Oh. The number of individuals picked each month varies. You never know how many.

Comment by momofasailor on May 13, 2015 at 8:11pm: My son got picked in February. He said they only picked up 3 that month. He works the PST twice a week with the Navy guys and had been trying for months. High PST scores are important so have him keep up the work. His special forces rep should give me guidance on what to expect. Good Luck. I know it is hard.

Comment by luvmysailor on May 13, 2015 at 4:57pm: Thanks for the info. He is a depper and took the PST and CSORT last week and passed both but its so competitive. He has been working with his assigned motivator for the last few months, and he was entered into the draft today. He will know tomorrow if he will be granted the contract. Fingers crossed he gets it...he is really working hard! thanks everyone!

Comment by Hello2u on May 12, 2015 at 7:01pm: check into youtube diver videos there very educational and what to expect in the swim tests its brutal but doable if your son puts his heart into it see diver prep in florida

Comment by Hello2u on May 12, 2015 at 6:59pm: basically he must pass all pst tests and especially the timed swim tests i hear there may be a freeze in navy jobs so he may have to wait or be put in a lottery but the better his scores the better for him to get in as 3rd class diver after passing boot camp dive prep and salvage school

Comment by Marie ~ Proud Diver Mom on May 12, 2015 at 6:11pm: To: luvmysailor... idk if there is a specific number of contracts given each month. My son is a Diver and completed his training a couple of years ago, so I do have a little knowledge on the process. Has your sailor started/completed boot camp? Where is he in his journey?

Comment by luvmysailor on May 12, 2015 at 5:04pm: I am just curious if anyone knows how many Diver contracts are granted each month? I know its competitive and my son PST'd and took the CSORT last week and went into the draft. he should know this week if he will be chosen for a contract. I dont really know what to compare his PST scores to, etc. Thanks in advance!

Comment by Navy for Moms Admin on April 23, 2015 at 11:42am: Hello Moms of Navy Divers! I know this page is not very active, but I was just wondering if any of you would be interested in becoming an admin for the group. Feel free to message me if you're interested in this role.

Thanks,
