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."

Enlisted Jobs: Machinist's Mate

The Navy Enlisted Classification system, called the NEC system, supplements the enlisted rating structure in identifying personnel on active or inactive duty and billets in manpower authorizations. NEC codes identify a non-rating wide skill, knowledge, aptitude, or qualification that must be documented to identify both people and billets for management purposes. Job Duties of a Machinist's Mate 

A machinist's mate is generally responsible for maintaining, repairing, and running the ship's engine and corresponding machines and equipment. This might include boilers, pumps, and heat exchangers. Machinist's mates can work on submarines or surface vessels, but they spend much of their time in the engine rooms in either case. Skills can be learned through on-the-job training or in special training classes. 

Some machinist's mates might qualify for work on nuclear propulsion systems. Certain submarine machinist's mates are enlisted from the ranks of hull maintenance technicians and attend a two-month training class to transition to this role as well as that of the emergency welder.
