OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 02/03/2012!

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the timeto read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by diannep on January 1, 2012 at 3:33pm: KIM: Someone asked that on RTC FB ((holiday routine tomorrow) and they said no. Then a week later, someone else asked on there and they said yes. Since it is a federally-declared holiday, I think they would be in holiday routine. We don't believe there are BattleStations tomorrow night for the next group, which is an indicator possibly that they are on holiday routine tomrorrow.

Lala: Wait until you reach MY age...things just pop into your head, then pop right out again! 4 a.m. is a great time for things that I couldn't remember in "normal waking hours" to pop back into my head....ahhhhh.....growing old is such sweet bliss! :-)

Comment by eljac913 (Ship 12 Div 053) on January 1, 2012 at 2:08pm: Have we made the decision to go with 1 scarf color for all N4MS or with individual division colors?

Comment by Alykat on January 1, 2012 at 1:42pm: Happy new year to 04/804 and my new Navy family!

Comment by Trisha(Ship12Div054)Michael<3 on January 1, 2012 at 1:31pm: I looked at the Residence too, its nice, but I didn't want to pay that much. From what I can tell there are some nice places to stay there, so Im sure which ever you choose will be fine. :)

Comment by KIM756 on January 1, 2012 at 12:58pm: I made my reservations at Country Inn and Suites, the pictures looked alright and I needed something a little cheaper then Springhill and Residence, which is where I would have stayed if money wasn't an issue.

Does anyone know if Monday is a Holiday Routine day? I'm trying to keep the week/day schedule straight but these holidays are messing me up. :)

I would love to do the whole PIR group scarf thing but there are so many on the facebook forum group that I don't think are on N4M's, that I don't know how that would work. We could always pick a scarf that has 2 colors on it, one for PIR group one for division. :) Just an idea.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 1, 2012 at 11:50am: That's the one Dianne lol. I knew you would know. My memory is just not what it should be anymore. I have to write EVERYTHING down lol.

Comment by diannep on January 1, 2012 at 8:59am: Happy New Year!

Comment by diannep on January 1, 2012 at 8:58am: I think the other hotel Lala was thinking of in addition to Springhill is Residence Inn. They are close together. Residence Inn Waukegan has the larger 2 bdrm 2 bth suites for larger groups (queen bed in each bedroom, sleeper sofa in living room). Full kitchen. They have studios also--all have full kitchens. Pet Friendly. PIR shuttle. Free hot buffet breakfast. We enjoyed our stay there. I believe Springhill has the studios. We have received great reviews on both hotels from the ladies on here. Both are very close to Sarge's MeetNGreet, about 4 miles from RTC.
