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.

How many are going to be at Sarge's Meet & Greet???
I'll be in my blue Navy shirt (say's "Wife" on back, but if my hair is down, won't see it), probably my green cardigan if it's still chilly. And maybe my black & white purse with the bright pink "kiki" on the side of it, and PIR ribbon! haha
Also, the 4 year old boy with me. He'll probably be in his camo pants and blue navy shirt too. :)

My daughter in law is very disappointed. He had told her he would get to call today. I keep telling her we will get to see him in 2 days. She's still waiting.
