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."

Hello Julie! I am new to this iste too, so I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I will try. At the top of your page there are tabs labled MAIN INVITE MY PAGE ABOUT US MEMBERS EVENTS...etc.
MY PAGE- This is where you can view all of your activity.
GROUPS- This is a good place to look for groups that apply to you. In these groups you start talking to people and seeeing their comments on things. If you clip on their name, you can see their page and send a friend request. That way you can start having people to talk to. You can also post inside the group.
BLOGS- MY FAVORITE! just click on the tab an then on the little thing in the cornor to post a blog and start writing. EVERYONE sees your concern or what you have to say. This is the best :)
Hope this helps. Where is your son stationed. IMy sailor has a friend named Shane whose mom's name is Julie....so I may indirectly know you!

Julie...to add someone as a friend you click on Add as a friend on their profile page...under their picture..then you can type in a personal message. Once you're friends (they have to accept your friend request) click on Send a message on their profile page (under their photo). You won't get anything in your inbox till they message you back. To see the messages you've sent go to your inbox and click on the sent tab. Beside of friends will be the number of friend requests you have. Beside of inbox will be the number of messages you have from your friends.
Make it a habit to check your page frequently , that way you will be aware of any comments left at the bottom of your page, friend requests and private messages left for you. Also if anyone has commented on any blog, discussion, group, etc that you started.
