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."

My son is a PIR 10/08/2010 also! I have been sending letters as his recruiter had given us the information a few days after he left. It was nice to get some communication from him on that form letter but I know we will be getting more! Not sure where we are staying but I hear the Ramada is a good choice!!
