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."

I would. We did and looking back, I would definitely do it again. It makes going out to eat, going to the store, PIR, going to the airport to send off your sailor,etc so much easier and cheaper. It wasn't hard to get to PIR and we had over 1500 grads. If you go to the airport get a pass to go to the gate.

I recommend getting a car too; however, I do not recommend the Ramada Inn. We stayed there a year ago and it was old and smelled bad. There are better options in the area.

Having a rental car will give you more freedom than not having one and sometimes you can get a really good deal that will cost you less than using a taxi, but yo have to decide what is best for you. See Saving Money PIR Weekend and PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend.
Join the group, PIR 05/31/2013 TG 29 - 10 Divisions (205-212, 811 and 929), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.

You should recieve a pamphlet in your form letter package that has discount on Ace rent a car. You need to take that with you to the car rental so they can honor the discount. Still would want a car incase your sailor wants something special before he departs RTC. Ace phone # 1- 800 323-3221 Promo Code "GF" . but you must take pamphlet with you !!
