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.

Husband is ok. But he is mad they get in to much problems because there are some of them that think they are on vacations and talk way to much! So they are always in problems! I'm not happy about that, " like he told me they need to grow up and be more mature"! Hope next letter is more positive! I still positive because I know he can deal w that! I trust that he is going to be Ok.

@ Alma, is there something special about April 5th that makes you think they will call? I am hopeful! Also, I have a friend who went through army boot camp recently; he said that slowly, the real trouble makers disappeared, and he realized they were sent home. He said it got better as time went on, and the process eliminated those who weren't serious about the commitment. So sad for the parents of those who can't buckle down, but better for the SR's who stay on track.
