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."

Thanks Gloria, he is excited. He will be reporting to the USS Chung Hoon - no subs for him. He was born in Yokosuka and really was hoping for orders there but they had told him recently he would be on one of the newer ships and that would rule out Japan. It looks like he will still make it to Japan as one of their ports...it's all good.

This is my personal favorites to get right time. It has a map with the 4 US time zones plus Alaska, Hawaii, Atlantic. It's great for simple minded gals like yours truly.

I tried to add it as a link but was unsuccessfu. You will have to cut and paste it on your browser. Then either save it as a "Favorites" (for Internet Explorer) or "Bookmarks" for Firefox. B.

Cute little OPSEC board.
I'm in the Eastern time zone and understand HI is six hours behind but they do not participate in daylight savings so their time does not change.
