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."

Welcome to the group!
Code%20for%20N4M%20My%20Page.docx gives the directions for adding lace and swirls to this page. It used to be an option on the site, but there were some problems with the code (the corners didn't meet and the banner at the top was messed up). Due to those problems, it was removed as an option. When I first joined, I had just had a class in HTML code and so I was able to fix the problems with the code.
I had some good contact once they he got back to Bahrain. I just wish I knew when they were coming home!
You are very welcome.
