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.

WELCOME to PIR 07/12/2013! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.
~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.
~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.
~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.
~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:
• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:
• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.
Some Suggestions:
~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.
~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option
~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

The Holiday Inn Express Waukegan was also a very nice place!! My 2nd daughter and I stayed there in March. it is a newer hotel and is in the same area of hotels as the Springhill Suites, Residence Inn, etc in Waukegan. It has a hot breakfast: waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy (!!!), pastries, cereal, milk, juice, coffee. The serve yourself breakfast opened at 6:00 am for the PIR on Friday. Their pool is an indoor one. Very nice rooms with comfy beds!!
There's also a McDonald's right next to their parking lot and Sweet Tomatoe's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chili's down the street from them. Also near to Sarge's Meet & Greet~~ Look online for their Best Available rate, then find out what their Navy graduation rate is.
Here's their info:

willcecy: If he is flying out, it most likely will be on Saturday, possibly Sunday (but Saturday is the normal day). They only go on Sunday if they cannot get flights on Saturday. So we suggest that you try to stay until Sunday just in case. By the way, he wouldn't kow when he is flying out yet....they won't have their "orders" and flight info until the end of bootcamp. You will have Friday after PIR with your sailor until about 8 or 9 pm, and then you can meet and visit your sailor at the airport. If he doesn't fly out until Sunday, you will get Sat daytime with him also.
So far it looks like Divisions 257+258, 259+260, and 935 are in this PIR group. 257/258 are brother divisions, as are 259/260. That means that they train together and know each other so be sure to get to know the moms in your brother division too! There will be more divisions in this group....we will see how many more from them join this group as the form letters arrive.
I hope all have a good weekend!
