Transition to new ID Badges Continues
Published January 29, 2025
Newport News Shipbuilding is well underway with the transition to new identification badges, and completion is expected in the second quarter of this year.
Please refer to the frequently asked questions on MyNNS regarding the change to new badges. Questions that fall outside the FAQ list can be directed to [email protected].
With regard to photography, the current Control of Photography training references the red camera icon on ID badges, even though 25% of shipbuilders have the new badge without the icon.
Training updates will follow that will reflect changes outlined in a new policy, which is currently in draft form. In the interim, changes will be communicated via memoranda and other updates.
Further updates will focus on the camera seals. All electronics will have either a legacy physical camera seal affixed on the exterior of the camera, a legacy digital screensaver camera seal, or a new digital camera seal that is “app-like” as the transition continues. Employees with either camera seal can prove or produce the required authorization.
