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."

Tracy - Go Nukes!

I was talking with my sailors recruiter and she was saying the blue sticker is for ET Nukes and EM’S have a globe symbol that there isn’t a generic nuke sticker.  Is this true?  

Beansis - JayDee had a friend make these - the red sticker is the specific insignia for machinest mates.  When I said the blue is a generic sticker I meant it's more the "generic" symbol for nukes/nuclear - not really ET or EM specific.  It's just how he made them....

KayCee - love it, thanks JayDee

Proud Momma

Jaycee, thanks for the contest!

Thanks for posting this and reminding me of this site, after a computer crash, I've been working mostly with the phone and totally forgot N4M was here.

Update, my son qualified as a diver, quite unusual in a world of nukes.  His sup is currently underway, he will be back later this summer and then they leave for a deployment.  After they come back, he'll be moving down to prototype to teach and after that, who knows?   

Cybermom - thanks for the update - sounds like things are going well for your son!
