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."

Hi licismom! My son is in div 301 but he is also going on to Pensacola ( AM ). We are planning on staying at the Courtyard Marriott.for PIR. Was going to reserve the Ramada but have been reading many bad reviews. I would like to still go to the meet and greet at the Ramada the evening before. I hope our flight from CT gets us in on time. It will be nice to maybe meet some of the ladies in person!

I heard Sarge's meet and greets have the most information and he is really helpful. I think we may go to his. Im just waiting to find out where it is.

There is a link to Sarges meet and greet on the main PIR 8/16/13 page. On the right hand column. I hope we can make it from the airport in time. Our plane is scheduled to land at 220pm at Midway.

Texas here! hi, my daughter also going to Pensecola after PIR. We are staying at the Ramada in Waukegan. It's in the broshure you should have received. It is only 4. miles from the PIR grad. 847-244-2400. You get a discount for Military so be sure and ask about it. It also has a meet and greet and provides transportation to the graduation.

Good morning, all! Any news from Div 302? I was out of town on vacation, but got my Saturday call. When I got home, there was a letter waiting. It was pretty brief, but such a blessing. I hope you are all hanging in there!

Hi everyone! Got a call tonight at 5pm(eastern time) on my way out of work. Keep those cell phones handy! My son said he probably wouldn't be able to call again until August 6th unless his division earns more phone time. Thank God I had my phone on me. I thought they could only call on weekends but I guess it can come anytime. Made my whole weekend!

Hello stacystu ! Do you know any of the details about how long of liberty they will have before leaving for Pensacola? Or is that going to be a last minute thing?
