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."

It was great meeting you too RPCS Quinn. Thank you so much for your service and dedication to our young sailors. Best wishes at your new duty station. :-)

Wish I could've been there. RPCS Quinn thank you for all you did for our loved ones!
Comment by RPCS Quinn on March 29, 2012 at 8:36am

Great ceremony yesterday and great to meet Malia!! 


The entire class performed incredibly well, from behavior to academics.  This was my last class in my position here, and I couldn't leave on a prouder note.  BTW, their class grade average of 20 people was from 98% to 88%, with most being 94% or above....incredibly high for a group that size and quite impressive!  They ALL did well and made me pumped that those Sailors are serving the Fleet now and maybe some day will take our places!

Nurse77...thanks for the clarification!  Heehee!  I THOUGHT you looked really young! :o)  Please feel free to ask any questions you might have and we'll do our best to answer them!  You can also send me a message any time you want!  I am happy to be a helper! Jeffiner is wonderful too!!

Comment by Nurse77 on March 29, 2012 at 8:14am

that's so good to hear about CREST. I was hoping I would be able to hear from him like i have during A school. I should clarify my sailor is my husband! We have orders to be stationed in CA. I guess the actual CREST training doesn't start for like a month, so for the first month Im not sure what he'll be doing. thanks for the info!

Comment by Mar ProudSailorMom on March 29, 2012 at 7:34am

Nurse77 - YEAH!  CREST was a lot more fun for my son than A school.  They have a bit more freedom and it's a little more relaxed.  They have a really neat rec center that J like to hang out in. Do you know where he is hoping to go?  Keep us updated! And tell him to work hard! It really pays off there as it helps determine where they get stationed. He will grow even stronger as a man & Sailor - AND they can win awards for their hard work!  COGRATS again!

Congratulation to all RPs and Chaplains graduated today. It was an awesome ceremony. I am a very proud mom of an RP :)

Comment by jeffiner-desert-wind on March 28, 2012 at 7:43pm
Congrats! Nursemom. My sailor LOVED CREST. RP1 is a great Cristian and got trainer of the year! CREST has a fb page. Search CREST training. I don't recall the exact name but that should do. It is fun to see his posts.
Comment by Nurse77 on March 28, 2012 at 5:52pm

My Sailor graduated A school today! so proud of him! Now onto CREST in North Carolina.
