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."

Comment by Gc0972 on April 25, 2012 at 4:51pm: You can go on-line and book your hotel rooms. Ramada already has the discounted rates for PIR graduations. It asks specifically if that is why you are reserving the room :) Mine is already booked and they do let you cancel in advance if there is a change for some reason in the dates.:)

Comment by diannep on April 25, 2012 at 8:11am: Good Morning al!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 25, 2012 at 8:05am: Good Morning everyone, I hope you all are having a good week so far :-)

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2012 at 9:00pm: kim: I wouldn't wait on reserving the hotel. Believe it or not, they do fill up sometimes. There is a theme park nearby so being summer, you may be competing with tourists. Most hotels have a liberal change/cancellation policy so no harm in booking now. Ask for the PIR rate, or use your AAA rate, etc.

We stayed at Residence Inn (also Marriott) which is also near the Walmart shopping center...just a little ways down from it. It is great for larger groups who need 2 bedrooms/2 baths/full kitchen, but like being in the same suite....living room with sofabed separates the bedrooms. They also have studios. PIR shuttle, PET FRIENDLY, free hot buffet breakfast. We enjoyed our stay!

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2012 at 8:57pm: Norma: They are located pretty much in the same area, by the Walmart shopping center. Springhill is a little newer. We hear great things about Springhill. Both are Marriotts so have "Marriott standards" but...yes, Courtyard is a bit older. PIR shuttle serves both hotels.

Comment by NormaH on April 24, 2012 at 7:34pm: I am debating where to stay. Actually, I've already made reservations at Courtyard (Marriott), but I am curious if Spring Hill Suites would be better. Both are near RTC. I am worried the Courtyard may be a little haggard. Lol Thoughts?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 24, 2012 at 3:50pm: Congrats on the confirm for your PIR group!

Yes Gc0972...please just add this to the name of the group (not the URL though):

Comment by kathyrc(Ship03DIV175)PIR 6/08/12 on April 24, 2012 at 3:37pm: Roses4bud - I understand. My son is in PIR 6/08 and just had his birthday last week without us for the first time. Hang in there...We have not had a call or letter other than the "I arrived safely" - guess we need to wait another week or so....
