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."

here's

the image of Puffin browser opened up on Ipad
Comment by Storymom on September 3, 2014 at 3:16am

and here's image of what Puffin looks like

once 'tapped' on. (i changed the wallpaper) Just enter key words in the top search bar, and when you find the website you want, bookmark it (tap on the 3 vertical dots in upper right corner) Puffin allows you to use IPAd like a PC and use flash capability, view movies, games, any flash programs. I watch some wildlife cams (bird nests, Alaska bears, etc) and safari sometimes won't process that kind of streaming video. hope this helps? thanks to the rest of you for not minding the mini-IPAD lesson here :-)

lindaG...be sure you are on the paid version, then use the Puffin browser search bar to bring up navyformoms. Then bookmark it within that browser On my Puffin browser, the icons are just automatically there in this comment box. I did try Safari browser, and by golly you are right, no icons are visible...just a place to start typing.

This is my sailor when he had swim call several years ago.  This was off the coast of Maui on New Years Day if I remember correctly.

Comment by Rhonda8881 on September 3, 2014 at 12:14am

Thank you all for the comments about the pics.  It was an awesome time for my family.  Can't wait to go back to visit them.

StoryMom, I never heard of Puffin Browser, so I just down-loaded it now for my I- pad. How do you use puffin Browser to bring up the icons in the comment box when you are using the ipad?
