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."

it's taking me longer and longer to get thru all my groups, blogs and chats. I can multitask, I have two monitors with my Navy chats off two the side, but it's getting hard to get any work done! Can't we just have one "Super Group" LOL

I bought a little Flip camera w/a usb connection that pops out and plugs right into the laptop - but haven't got anything so fun to shoot yet! Unlike Uli, I'd love to be in your flipflops. Have you thought about blogging your watery saga?
Geez it's cold and dank and breezy here, can't wait for the heat. Off to the store, ttyl ~

CaP - hey, don't forget we're pushing brotherhood here too! ;)
It's interesting to browse the wide variety of groups, though N4M doesn't even attempt to organize them and the search function sucks, you have to mosey on through them all. At least they could put the "Ship X Div Y" ones together somewhere, you'd think....
