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."

Ladies, I have been following the blogs and checking on hotels. You girls certainly do your homework! My hubby is on his laptop booking a 2 room suite at Residence right now. I will be checking back tomorrow to find out what I need to do to get the PIR 2/11 discount. I also love the idea of wearing ribbons, scarves or whatever you decide to do to find each other during the M/G. I will keep following and see where I end up........N4Ms Rocks!!

Comment by ame7 on December 21, 2010 at 11:59pm
mama....PLEASE say you mean 50 days!!!
Comment by mamawalrus on December 21, 2010 at 11:55pm

Himmie,,,, you are meeting us at the M & G right?  Of course we ALL have to meet each other after these long 9 weeks and 2 days of waiting till PIR!  and yes we have that extra week to wait instead of the 8!  UGH.. but lets hope that extra week brings lots of nice weather too! 

AND think,,, in the morning we will finally be at 60 days!!!  I have been waiting for that dountdown clock to hit that!!!!!  Sigh,,,, ;(  I miss my boy! 

 

THe sales guy from the Residence Inn wil be calling me tomorrow to let me know the discount price,,, once he calls me I will post on this site the prices and everyone start calling the Residence Inn Marriott in Waukegan.  IF you have a room already booked there be sure to call back and tell them you are under the group PIR 2/11 so you get the extra discount,, Again,, there is a shuttle,, FULL breakfast each morning, all rooms have kitchens and it is close to the base and mall.   

Comment by beachbum on December 21, 2010 at 10:40pm
mamawalrus, I have already booked my rooms for the residence inn, is there where you are getting the discount?  Let me know maybe I can cancel and then reserve again with the "group"  I would need the 2 rooms suite, I will send something to your personal e-mail too!

Thanks Himmiemom, sure we can all come to your place, lol. Looks like a lot of us will be at the Residance Inn
Comment by Britt Ship 09 Div 071 on December 21, 2010 at 10:34pm
wow. this will be a long ceremony then
Comment by himmiemom on December 21, 2010 at 10:34pm
Okay, so I haven't been on a lot and trying to catch up on everything.  Where are the majority of you guys staying at?  I would like to attend a get together even though I am not staying at a hotel.  Sure you don't want to do it at my house?????
Comment by himmiemom on December 21, 2010 at 10:32pm
I think up to 88 recruits per division.  Some may have less in them.
Comment by StaceyinTX on December 21, 2010 at 10:30pm

Does anybody know how many recruits are in a division?
