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."

We just got our letter!!! We are also ship 13 div 313, and PIR Sept. 28th. I booked our rooms with Navy Lodge this morning. I've heard it is nice. It is only 2 miles away from the base. Something like $68 a night and the website says breakfast is included.

Hello Stephanie,
Glad to talk with someone in the same ship/div as Kyle. We are from the Mid Michigan area in Edenville just outside of Midland to the North. If you don't mind me asking where are you from?
I am going to book our rooms today as well and I had already found the same place as you, hope the rooms are still open....
talk soon,
jo

Hello,
I am an active “veteran” (been through BC) mom on the PIR groups on this site. My Seabee PIR’d over a year ago and I decided to stay on the site and help out.
Since we have 7-8 PIR groups running at one time I do what I can to try and get to the DEP groups…we used to have a few more moms on here…
If I may suggest…please post any questions you have on the main wall of this group (but don’t quit posting to each other here!) and I will try to get over here to answer them! I will check it at least once to twice daily.
I will also post the current PIR groups on the main wall so you can find them and join to start getting to know the other moms. There are also other long time veteran moms there to answer questions and lend support as well.
For those that have a recruit shipping out later this month…I have re-posted some of JessicaB SailorMom’s great advice on the main wall.
Welcome to N4M’s!
