With every change of duty station comes the big reset of finding local groups in your area that will perfectly match your needs. These groups range in variety; they all serve a different purpose and are a must to keep you in sync with a new duty station. 
The characteristics of social groups change depending on their purpose. Many can be formal or informal and can exist for in-person or virtual support. Depending on your personality and your end goal of joining one or all of them, finding a group that can be of assistance and meet your needs is something everyone should be part of.

Nearly 1,000 miles east of Hawaii, a 47-year-old woman and her 7-year-old daughter were adrift on a French-flagged sailboat amid rough seas, along with their cat and tortoise. 
The boat’s captain had died during their voyage, and a Category-2 hurricane was bearing down on them.
For the next three nerve-wracking days, the Coast Guard and Navy raced against time and the worsening weather to get the woman, her daughter, and their pets off the boat before the hurricane arrived.
Kevin Cooper of the Coast Guard served as the search and rescue mission coordinator during the operation.
