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."

Praying all goes well for you and family. Gave you found a hotel? Me and my husband, daughter son in law stated at residence inn. 2 bedroom suite with kitchen living room and sofa turned into a bed. Everything you need was furnished. Utensils pots pans ECT. Really nice and clean very friendly people. Free continental breakfast. Shuttle available down the street from wal mart and PIR.

All Hotels are in Waukegan, IL the Residence Inn is very Nice. We stayed there, bought our food to cook Sat. Morning. we Made My Son's favorites. it saved on money also. Wal-Mart is down the street worked out perfectly. 15 min. from the PIR, we took the shuttle, even though we rented a car. They also decorate the door for your Sailor, let then know you are there for PIR. here is the address and Number.
Address: 1440 S White Oak Dr, Waukegan, IL 60085Phone: (847) 689-9240

@maddy yes I would. We made our airplane and hotel today for PIR May 11th. Southwest is great to book with because if you have to change your reservations they can do it up to 10 min of your flight.
