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."

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

ok, here is some of the skinny so far. The pool is nice, sauna and hot tub are very nice. Had the place to ourselves for 2 whole hours! The bar/restaurant looks so pretty, but we were wet from the pool, so we didn't go in. The gift shop is super-very tiny, and only has essentials to buy and souvenir shirts. There is however a cvs only 2 blocks away and a dunkin doughnuts about 4 blocks away.
Now, we had to go to the local Kmart here. It has a security guard! Ok, in hickville where I come from, the most dangerous things are squirrels and cows. We were told by Kmart staff to not be outside in the surrounding areas after dark. Also, if you want to eat, do it before you get to this town!!! Most places are very small and/or closed! We hadn't eaten all day, so we settled for a chinese buffet, but that wasn't what we really wanted!
Oh, we arrived here right around noon, everything was pretty cool driving, we had to leave about 4 pm and the roads were pretty much packed. They said rush hour here is from 3:30 to 6:30. Pretty hard to navigate to a lot of the simple stores and cross traffic. It wasn't impossible, just a real pain in the keister.
Oh, and there are only 2 floors here, and the floors w/no carpet are really cold, so if you haven't left yet, bring extra socks or houseslippers!
