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."

A button pusher is the nickname name for twidgetts :) I cant beieve that the nickname, has a nickname LOL that darn navy :)
The saying goes Snipes *run* the Navy and the Twidgetts keep us safe !
IE: the button pushers
Maybe you could ask him for me what "they" called the snipes ? I am sure Colton would in no way tell me what the other nickname is.
Shoot I cant find what the Navy is called by the other branches
When I ask Colt he said squids or shellbacks........... but those are the nice terms the navy accepts. When I asked an Army guy, he said "dance patners" LOL that cracked me up........but not so much Colton ! -
