OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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…Continue

Chris - I havent check out any place around the base yet, but we are going that way tomorrow. Someone suggested Foster Creek Villas 843-764-2120. Its right down the road from the base and they do weekend rentals. I'll send you some info tomorrow evening on what I find.

Hi all - Sandy and Denise, Thank you so much for your offer to help with our sailors at Goose Creek. My son has been sick since last weekend so I wish you could take him home with you! My husband and I are probably going down next weekend - Sandy can you recommend any hotels in the area? Navydad - I hope you are able to get home soon.
I just cannot shake this sad feeling - I don't know if the reality of his being really gone is sinking in or what. When he was at boot camp I was so busy writing and getting ready for the holidays and graduation I think that was a major distraction. He still doesn't have his cell phone. I'm hoping once he receives that and communication is easier I will feel better. Anyone on here with a son from California who was in division 910? My son is rooming with him.

LOL! I know right?! He commented about the new indocts who recently arrived, said he noticed a pretty girl looking at him. I told him to look the other way, girls were nothing but trouble considering where he is! So Hooters it is!!!
