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."

SHIP 09 / DIV 146
Hey there! Just a place for family of SRs in Ship 09 (USS John F Kennedy) Division 146 to get together and chat, ask questions, and discuss whatever. :) I'm new to this, so anyone who has a heads up on anything regarding the ribbons (LaLa Ribbon Queen I believe is who we need to contact) and stuff like Sarge's Meet-and-greet, feel free to enlighten the rest of us!
Curious about WHERE exactly at RTC your recruits barracks are? Check out this diagram of the RTC.

I didn't get a letter yet, either, so hang in there all the folks who haven't gotten one, I'm sure we are the majority. My son is quiet and never says much, so he can't be the one talking, lol! Just made reservations tonight for flights and hotel, I hadn't realized it was Mother's Day weekend, thanks for the heads up.

My daughter in law got a letter from my son yesterday. She called SO excited. He gave her so much information and she feels so happy now. Happy Day!! He says all is well. He's sore from the exercise, but happy and healthy. He wants more pictures. :-)

Has any spouses gotten any dependancy forms yet? I thought I would have gotten them before I heard from my hubby, and his recruiter said I should have gotten them already... Just wondering if anyone else didnt get them yet either?

Great Day! I got a letter, it was great to hear from him.. The only negative was about the first 2 days and those have past. Very happy, now just waiting on that first phone call.

Made reservations for the Ramada. I was going to stay at the Red Carpet, but the Ramada has an indoor pool, and I have a busy 15 year old. It seemed like a better bet for May weather.
