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."

I see and I've been messing with it ever since. Thanks for the guidance Jessica.
-
-
you'll get it...just keep trying. Once you form the group, I'll post the link (and show you how as well) for others to join. It won't take long to have quite a nice sized group.
-
-
laurel...have you formed the group yet?
-
-
Jessica, I get your instructions, thank you. However, the site is telling me not to use spaces in the web address. I have copied and posted webaddresses from other groups, changing the group name, but no go. Somehow something I am typing is being recognized by the site as a space. Gotta try again later. Otherwise, easy to do.
-
-
for now don't worry about the web address.....just type in the name of the group and then click on save group
-
-
I just went though the steps (formed the group then deleted it) All I did was type in the name then clicked in Save Group...you'll be taken to an Address Export thingy...click on skip. Then your group is formed!!!

Got it finally. I was trying way too hard. Jessica, thanks for sticking it out. You're right, it did distract me from my Boot camp worries :)
-
-
You're welcome......now to add a countdown clock and weather widget...that can wait till tomorow. Have you gotten your form letter yet? It may better wait till then to be sure.
-
-
Wait to book until you get the form letter to confirm the date...the RTC may skip a week...thus making it 6/3.
