Hooyah OPO!!!🛩️

Happy October 1st!

✈️ FROM NAVAL AVIATION TO NAVY RESERVE RECRUITING

Lt. Cmdr. Jaclyn Kuhrt knows firsthand what it means to transition from the cockpit to continued service in the Navy Reserve.

A former active-duty naval flight officer, Kuhrt now brings her aviation experience to Reserve Talent Acquisition Group Central, helping fellow aviators and veterans navigate opportunities to continue serving.

Her journey is a reminder that the experiences our Sailors bring to the recruiting mission matter — and every Sailor has a story worth telling.

⚓️ FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS, YN2 GONZALEZ! ⚓️

RTAG Central would like to take a moment to recognize and thank YN2 Gonzalez as she departs our command and heads on to her next chapter! 🇺🇸

YN2 Gonzalez has been an invaluable part of our Administration Department, bringing professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to the many administrative requirements that keep a command running smoothly.

From personnel administration and correspondence to records, evaluations, awards, correspondence, and all the behind-the-scenes Yeoman work that often goes unnoticed — she consistently stepped up and got the job done. Her willingness to support Sailors and the command made a real difference to RTAG Central.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for RTAG Central, YN2 Gonzalez! We wish you nothing but success in your next assignment.

⚓️ Fair Winds and Following Seas! 🌊🇺🇸
