Excellent call on using FRS and GMRS radios. They are the same as the old telephone party lines. So-called privacy codes aren’t private. All they really do is prevent you from hearing other traffic on that channel. A dedicated person or group can de-code your codes fairly easily.

Glad that fcc license is for life

Amateur radio and GMRS licenses are good for only 10 years.

I have a fcc# for life cuz it’s part of having a captain license for the boat radio ais system

Isn’t that license restricted to the vessel?

No the captain cuz we are on different vessels in the fleet so we have our own personal number for life
