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."

New For Mom's of Navy Diver Recruits or Divers
This is new. I created it, because I did not see a group for those of us with Sons or daughters going into Navy Diving as recruits.

HI,
Doesn't look like there is much activity on this site! My son is going to boot camp on 7/21 and then on to Navy dive training as a reservist. I'm excited and nervous as I know it's not easy training. Any one have a son who is in the training or has made it through the training? I'd love to hear from you!
