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."

Bookster: Here is a link to some fun writing ideas. My SR liked them because she didn't have to think about anything to write (aside from some margin notes,) she just circled an answer. Oh, and I sent it with a sase so it would come back quickly :) Obviously you can change a lot of the questions...but at least it may get your creative juices flowing!

Pretty sure we still get our picture. I did nothing wrong, but I might need protection at graduation! :0) A couple of women were all up in arms and one thought she should have won because I submitted two answers (you can't edit your answer and I realized I had one wrong, so I submitted another response) and her answer was 5 minutes after my 2nd (correct) answer. She said I should have only gotten one try (which is not what the rules say). Then another woman chimed in whining and complaining... it was crazy... even had people PMing me on FB about it. I didn't get involved in the bickering, but a few minutes later the page took all of their comments down and said that was the last Wacky Wednesday. Good grief!
