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."

Great photo...it worked! Use IPAD too, but with the Puffin Browser ...I see all icons in the comment box here, maybe that's the difference? I Should try using Ipad's own Safari Browser and see what it looks like....

Standing on top of a sub during swim call hanging out and smoking a cigarette you can tell he's loving it!

Congratulations LindaGirl you did it ;-) Cool picture I've never seen one like that before! This inquiring mind would like to know...did your son go swimming?

Hay, StoryMom, I did it! My ipad doesn't have the above icons, so I had no idea what you were talking about. When I went on my laptop, sure enough, everything came up! I just wanted to try sending something, so I would know how to do it, so this is a test run! This is a picture of my sailor son that he sent me last week, while they are underway, having "swim call". (Again, I had no idea, what he was talking about, as I had never heard of that before!). I told him, I love the picture, but could do w/o seeing the cigarette hanging out of his mouth, but a mother will take what she can get! Thank you again & Kevsmom, thank you also for trying to help me figure this out as well. I can't wait to see how this turns out when I press, "Add Comment"....here goes.....

Story mom ...I'm using an ipad, & on the comment box, there are no borders with icons, so I guess you can only post pictures, using a laptop or a computer? All I have is a blank comment box & that's it, with no borders or icons.

Lovely wedding photos Rhonda!

LindaG: here's my notes: in a new comment box, see the upper border with icons?-- Link, then a square picture frame?(not the movie reel icon) then a paperclip, etc. Click on that picture frame, and choose "my computer" ... then click on "browse" to find the pic you want (in one of your files, or on your desktop, or in your clipart file?) You can "center" it, & reduce 'pixel' width (it can get too HUGE --usually about 100 or 150 is good for me)click 'Ok' and it loads and then you can type something to us about it...the cursor shows you where to begin typing. Then click: 'add comment' and the whole thing appears here. Or type your words first, and where you leave your cursor.... is where your picture will eventually load.
did I forget any steps Ladies?
