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.

Hi Alma, we will be leaving LAX early Wednesday morning and we are bringing our 18 yr old daughter and 26 & 24 yr old niece and nephew and arriving at Red Carpet late afternoon.Going to Sarge's M&G and possibly Flanagans as well. Curious to know what to do in the area. Just got a letter from our son. Said he went through the TG. Was tough. I hope all goes well with the unit and they pull together. Looking forward to the call after BS. I miss him so much.See you all there.
