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."

patteye 1069    what is a RLPO?

Permalink Reply by patteye1069 on March 17, 2011 at 8:10pm

RLPO= Recruit Leading Petty Officer

I guess he's in charge if petty officer isn't there, also leads them in cadence

He has a big booming voice and they're using it to their advantage!

he has lost his voice plenty of times in BC!

Yes, letter from my sis said battle stations are 3/31!  She also said that they have "flagged" everything which means they are Battle E candidates (or at least that's what her sloppy handwriting looks like...lol)...the beasting flag!  Their brother div is no longer in the running, so they are no longer competing against them!  She seems really excited about this!  I can't believe the time is almost here!!

What does Battle E candidates mean?

This is the reply from RTC...

 

U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command Divisions who earn the Battle E flag have an overall average of 4.35 or higher and they must have earned at least one flag in each evaluated area.

Divisions who earn the Battle E flag have an overall average of 4.35 or higher and they must have earned at least one flag in each evaluated area.  I had to ask RTC this one,  I had no idea myself.   I am always asking them things like this.  How are we suppose to know, our kids tell us the very minimum in their letters, just that they won this, or did that.  But who knows what they are talking about with all their crazy acronyms.  Sooo, yay for them, another pretty cool thing.  3 day you guys,  I think our girls are kickin some serious butt!
