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."

I just found the California Moms group yesterday and added a message. FTWL can you message me how to add an Administrator? I would like to add both you and Elizabeth, but don't know how.
Thanks,

Ladies, I am just your "big sister" up North. FTLW has the thumbs up for me - in fact, I might ask her to dress up my stuff when I retire. BTW, you might want to use the "group message" in the big California Moms group - in fact in all the So Cal groups and announce your meet and greet. Take care everyone.

...you know how I am!
-
-
Yes...and just tell me what you want and don't want!

FTLW, would love help from both of you. BunkerQB is in SFO, but you are HERE!!!! Could I add you as an Administrator so you can have access? I am not all that good at all the "dress up" stuff.

Bandito's Mom and Elizabeth,
My apologies...I see BunkerQB is helping you out with your group! Woo-Hoo! As you both know ...one thing that I love is to "dress up" the PIR groups! LOL. I have word.docs saved that explain what you can do as the creator of the group...as an administrator, the text box area, how to embed media and photos, the discussion forum area (you can change how much and how many, how to get to the most current reply etc ), getting around the main page. I also have a post for emoticons with links...that's just fun...also tells how to resize a photo! Umm...going to have to take the next step with MS publisher...sounds like TOO much fun BunkerQB!
Let me know ladies...I can send them to your inbox.
FTLW

Bandito, looking good. Go to edit on the text box again and put something on the title - it'll then become dark blue with white font - LINK TO MEET AND GREETS works. Be creative.
