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."

Are there two entrance exams — ASVAB and AFQT?
No, there is only one exam — the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery — ASVAB
for short. The ASVAB has 10 tests. Your scores from four of the tests — Word
Knowledge (WK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), and
Mathematics Knowledge (MK) — are combined to compute your score on what is
referred to as the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). Scores on the AFQT are
used to determine your eligibility for enlistment in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine
Corps. Scores on all of the ASVAB tests are used to determine the best job for you in
the military.

My AFQT score is 62. What does this mean?
AFQT scores are reported as percentiles between 1-99. An AFQT percentile score
indicates the percentage of examinees in a reference group who scored at or below that
particular score. For current AFQT scores, the reference group is a sample of 18 to 23
year old youth who took the ASVAB as part of a national norming study conducted in
1997. Thus, your AFQT score of 62 indicates that you scored as well as or better than
62% of the nationally-representative sample of 18 to 23 year old youth

If you are interested in taking the ASVAB in order to apply for the military, you will need to contact a military recruiter. To find a recruiter near you, go to http://www.todaysmilitary.com/ and click on “Request More Info.” When the recruiter has determined that you are otherwise qualified, he/she will set up a time for you to take the ASVAB at the closest Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) or an affiliated Military Entrance Test (MET) site.
The ASVAB is also offered to high school and post-secondary students as part of the ASVAB Career Exploration Program. The Career Exploration Program is designed to help students explore careers in both the civilian and military worlds of work. If you are interested in the ASVAB Career Exploration Program, contact your teacher or counselor to see how you can participate.
