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."

What hotel is everybody staying at?

Thought it might be nice for everybody to say where they are staying for PIR as a means of knowing who will be in the same place, taking the shuttles, carpooling, etc. and maybe even getting together in the afternoon/evening for table games and fun with our new sailors.

Ramada - arriving Thursday afternoon @ 3:45 - should get there hopefully just in time for the M&G.  Staying until Monday.  Will have rental car but undecided about driving versus shuttle for PIR.  Also attending is my SR's twin brother, and his older sister.

Staying at the Ramada Inn-Hubby and I and 24 year old son.  Will be arriving on Wednesday and departing on Sunday.  We are driving to Chicago, so haven't really decided on whether to drive to the base or do the shuttle.  I really need to find out what time the shuttle picks up from the Ramada before we decide, but right now leaning towards the earliest shuttle possible.
