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."

So, where is everyone from? Michigan here. It would be so nice to get a letter this week! This site is nice. Where are you guys staying for PIR? We got a room at the Navy Lodge. I am so looking forward to hugging my son. This is his first time away from home. I have been doing OK with it after the first few days. Remembering no news is good news helps. Take care

I guess the Lodge is for everyone. All I did was tell them I was there for PIR, gave them my sons name and booked a room for 66 a night. We are attending Sarges meet and greet, how about you? I am learning so much from here. We are trying to find cards to send to my son and that is hard. Either the words are not right, they have glitter. We found a few encouragement cards but they had red envelopes. My daughter and I looked for another card that size with a white envelope and swapped out envelopes. I told my oldest who is real good in the area of art, she needs to create a line of cards for recruits.

My daughter is in Division 073 also! I am so confused as to how to navigate this site; I hope this gets posted! I only received my first communication from her yesterday; her husband has gotten all graduation information and has yet to share it with me.I am desperately seeking hotel information. Any thoughts?
