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."

Comment by Ozzy on January 8, 2011 at 4:23pm: My son has a Navy Diver contract and he is leaving for boot camp on March 9th in Ill. From what I understand, he will then go to Dive Prep School, and then to Panama City.

Does anyone know any different?

Comment by Oldest of 4 on January 5, 2011 at 4:34pm: Anyone's sailor at panama city starting dive school?

Comment by richsmom (Div 818 PIR 9/2/10) on January 4, 2011 at 1:21pm: Oldest of 4 Good luck to your new dive candidate and congratulations to him on completing dive prep!!!!!

Comment by Oldest of 4 on January 3, 2011 at 9:01pm: Mine reached panama city today and starts the 5th. I feel bad a buddies luggage got lost and he was to muster in in uniform and didn't have it. I hope all is good.

Comment by lnaipaul on January 1, 2011 at 4:17pm: Hey Exxie,

Well what can I stay. He needs to be very strong mentally. It is a very tough program they will weed out the weak ones. The training is tough. Tell him just do it do not think about it. If he wants it he will get it. Pay very close attention to details. I am a big believer in yoga and meditation so I will always teach my son breathing excercises. It helps. Have to make the water your home, strong swimmer and i mean strong swimmer Good luck

Comment by richsmom (Div 818 PIR 9/2/10) on December 30, 2010 at 9:28am: Exxie Dive Prep is in GL so he will stay there for another 2 months or so. There they look for sailors who are confindent in the water and commiited to the program.

Comment by exxie on December 30, 2010 at 8:40am: Hi there! My son is currently in BC with a Diver contract, scheduled to PIR 2/18/11 and then head to Diver Prep (if all goes according to his Master Plan!). What things should we be looking forward to? Looking out for??

Comment by richsmom (Div 818 PIR 9/2/10) on December 29, 2010 at 12:24pm: Oldest of 4 We have AT&T and had no problem in GL or PC. But remember they are in buildings that are thick with bricks and alot of phones service is hard to get if they are in those conditions. He should be fine in PC. Hope this helps.

Comment by Oldest of 4 on December 28, 2010 at 9:48pm: Does at&t have service in panama city? My son is going monday and didn't have service at great lakes so wondering about panama city base.
