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."

Ask him if he has logged into CMS to see what billets are available.... If not, that is where he should be looking....

Craig, is that available to the students? They seem to not be encouraged to do anything but wait for orders to be handed to them.

CMS ID isn't open to students. There is a different pot of orders that the students are given from

Angie - The sailor is still able to look at CMS and see what duty stations are open. He will be able to tell where the storage of personnel are for his rating, and he can write his dream sheet around those orders. Most schools just hand out the orders on class ranking, but others actually use the dream sheet.
What this guy doesn't want to do is write down that he wants to go to Liberia Africa if he's a snipe. The only billets they have in Liberia is for the IS rating. He doesn't want to look stupid asking for something that isn't possible. Thus, he needs to look at CMS and see where his ratings goes, then evolve his dream sheet around those places....
