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."

Also, will be taking a shuttle to the PIR from my hotel. Do I need to download the gate pass or is that just for vehicles?

My son's PIR is 11 May. I had read on another group here that there are some "meet and greet" gatherings at some of the hotels near the base. Does anyone know of any for the weekend of 11 May? I am going to be at a Quality Inn. Thanks!

It takes a military pass to get in the gate. Yes, he'll need to meet you there to get in. Beautiful post. Have a great visit and tell us all about it on return!

Smom,how long has your son been at DLI? My daughter is going there in June after her PIR on 06/08. I would love to hear from you after your trip.
Enjoy your time with him.

My husband and I are heading to Monterey tomorrow to visit our son. Does anyone know if he has to be with us to pick up the pass to get on base from the travel office?

Jeanibeanie that is awesome! I haven't heard specifically what language my son will be learning. His wife lives in western NY. Does the Navy not help with moving vehicles as well? They were told they would be moved once she is able to join him bit they weren't sure about their car. I know she couldn't drive it from NY to California.

Hi all. I just now found this page and my son has been in DLI since last July '11. His class is really long and he doesn't graduate until February of next year. I've already had the painful experience of driving his car all the way from San Antonio Tx to Monterey during New Years, what a killer drive! We spent like 3 days there and got to stay in the Naval Post Graduate School lodging. What an amazing place to stay, highly recommend it to anyone visiting Montery. Anyway, glad to find this group and will continue to read and hopefully post. Have a great day all :)

Anybody here have someone with PIR of 11 May?

can any one confirm to me that Monterrey's A school for CTI is real? I look at many Navy boards and they don't list a CTI group at Monterrey for A school - so I thought that maybe it was called something else
