Welcome to the USS Harry S Truman Family Readiness Group (HSTFRG)!
The purpose of the HSTFRG is to plan and conduct social, informational, care-taking, and morale building activities that will increase family readiness and enable the total Navy family to meet the challenges of the mission and military lifestyle.
HSTFRG is a sponsored command organization. Members include spouses, parents, grandparents, children and fiancés.
The HSTFRG helps:
· Prepare members for deployments and homecoming.
· Provide family support during deployments.
· Families adjust to challenges and to support one another in times of personal, unit or area crises.
· Welcome/mentor members who are new to the Navy lifestyle.
When families of deployed service members know their resources, have fun and can draw on the strength of new friends, coping skills are enhanced and deployment anxiety is reduced.
