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."

The number of stripes on the sleeve are indicative of E-2 and E-3. None for E-1, two for E-2, three for E-3

Colors:

Red=Fireman

White=Seaman

Green=Aviation

Blue=Construction

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on July 4, 2012 at 7:13am: I was looking at recent PIR pics and wanted to know what some of the sleeve stripes meant, like green or blue and even red on new sailors

Comment by ellen0502 on July 4, 2012 at 1:59am: Happy 4th of July!!!!

Just think, two more Fridays to get through and then a Friday wake up call until you see your SAILORS!!!

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on July 3, 2012 at 4:35pm: Meegan - enjoy that time away...I went away for the weekend and when I got back I got to cross out 5 days off the calendar at once...it helps the time go by faster and actually does take your mind off of it even just for a little while.

Comment by Meegan on July 3, 2012 at 4:09pm: navyknit22, is there a link. I will order some for my family to wear to PIR. I am sure that it was posted before but I am so hit and miss lately with everything that I missed it or was to self absorbed at the time to click it. That would be nice to have something like that

Comment by Meegan on July 3, 2012 at 4:06pm: Drew2 I am staying at the Navy Lodge. I will fly intoMidway at 8:50 and then straight to the hotel.

This time tomorrow I will be in Idaho with my dear friends and they are COOL. Let me tell you, if it was not for them and this site I would be NUTS! I just cant wait to hug my son. I miss him so much. I cant wait to meet you alll!!
