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."

Kathy, I did a test group to figure out how to get the clock on you page! Go into the group & the set up page where it says info. click on the edit & then you can add a widget such as the clock . That is where you would paste the code.

Kathy, I don't know how to move it to the top like the one on our page is, I did start a discussion called clock....but it doesn't display it. I still think you have to go in as the admin & move it there. I didn't have any trouble once I got the code, just be sure & highlight the whole code and copy & paste. Once you hit enter it pops up.

Hi Kathy, I posted the clock as a comment, on our page 1/14/2011 it is in the info. section but I think you have to be an admin. to place it there. I also put in the discussion section. Feel free to move, delete or make your own. Just click on the rt. bottom of the clock & it will take you to the site, click on countdown clocks and go from there. Then it gives you the option to share or get code. I did get code and then copy and pasted it & voila! There you have it.
