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."

Welcome to PIR 01/20/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by futureHMwife on November 23, 2011 at 7:17pm: I didn't not residence had a shuttle to and from base. Idk if we will use it because we plan on road tripping it up there but it is nice to know the shuttle is there just in case.

Comment by futureHMwife on November 23, 2011 at 7:14pm: I am staying at the Residence Inn. I got the two room suite because my friend is coming to help with the kids. It has 2 rooms (both have a queen sized bed), 2 bath rooms, a living area with a sofa bed and a full kitchen, and by full I mean stove, pots pans, the works.

Comment by diannep on November 23, 2011 at 7:10pm: futureHMwife: Good idea to book the hotels early! No penalty if you have to change dates/cancel...and sometimes a few of the hotels book up.

Comment by diannep on November 23, 2011 at 7:09pm: Samantha: The two are quite close. There is nothing shopping/restaurant wise right around Residence (where we stayed...loved it). It is in a quiet office park area, although backs up to the main drag. It is pet friendly...don't know if that matters to you? Springhill has more action around it. Right next to the Walmart shopping center, some restaurants, etc. Residence has studios plus 2 bdrm 2 bth suites....all with full kitchens. I believe Springhill has studio-type suites.

Both are great hotels! Both have PIR shuttle. Residence has a hot buffet breakfast (free) in the lobby each day.

I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Residence is about 1/2 mile closer to RTC.

Comment by futureHMwife on November 23, 2011 at 6:57pm: Made my hotel reservations today! I am so excited. I know its a long ways away but some how it helps knowing they are made :D

Comment by Samantha (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke) on November 23, 2011 at 6:55pm: Hi All...My son is Ship 09/Div 46...Can't wait! I look forward to seeing and meeting everyone at PIR. Question, Springhill Suites vs. Residence Inn, any opinions? I see Residence is a bit closer to RTC, but Springhill is closer to Sarge's meet and greet. Is one better for location, amenities, restaurants, shopping, etc.? Any advise is appreciated :)...

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 23, 2011 at 5:44pm: ladies

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 23, 2011 at 5:34pm: futureHMwife, I bet those pictures are just priceless. Keep those letters flowing. The SR's live for their mail call.

Comment by futureHMwife on November 23, 2011 at 11:57am: Hi diannep3, Lala, and Betsy, I am so glad I found this site! It has already helped so much to talk with other ladies that have gone through or are going through the same emotions. I hope to meet some more ladies with the same PIR for their Sailors and get to know them along with helping them make this time easier. I have already started writing my husband (most days I write twice lol) I have yet to get his form letter but once I do I'll have a big stack of letters to send! My daughter has also been drawing him lots of pictures and I have printed off some pictures of the kids and me to send as well. :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 23, 2011 at 11:25am: Hi FutureHMwife, and thank you for starting your PIR group. Welcome to our wonderful Navy family. I'm Betsy and also a "veteran" on here. I have 2 sailors in my family, my youngest son, who graduated from BC in Dec. '10 is in Pensacola awaiting his Orders and my daughter's fiance who is stationed on a nuke sub in Hawaii. (my lucky duck daughter lives there with him, lol). We will be here for you all when you want a hug, smile or if you need a shoulder.
