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."

Hotels!
Hey friends! I just want to lend a hand to anyone - I work at a Marriott hotel and if you're headed to PIR or to visit base or anything, and you want to stay at a Marriott, let me know. Assuming it isn't a black out date, I can look if the Friends & Family rate is available for you. I know it's not cheap to travel, especially if your SO is across the country, so I want to help you in any way :)

I could certainly use this. Is this for any Marriott? Mine is stationed in Groton CT.

Yes, any Marriott, provided that the specific location has that rate available for your stay. They're on and off with discounted rates. But if you have certain dates in mind, let me know and I'll look!

I am interested to learn more!! I am planning a trip for Labor Day Weekend, come in Thursday or Friday and leave on Tuesday. I have a long list of possible hotels, but the internet can only provide so much info. I'm interested to know the F&F rate or if there is a Navy rate since it is probably another PIR weekend
