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."

Welcome families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never 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 discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by diannep on November 19, 2011 at 4:58pm: You ladies will like it. It is located in a quiet office park location, but near the WalMart complex (where Sarge's MeetNGreet will be in a restaurant there), restaurants, etc. Springhill Suites and Courtyard are located next to Walmart. So any of you staying in either of those 3 hotels will be close! Residence has the larger suites...2 bdrm 2 bath if needed, or studios. The 2 bdrms fill up quickly so for any wanting those, better book now. Full kitchens too. And fireplace! And sleeper sofa. All 3 hotels have the PIR shuttle service.

Comment by Michelle02 on November 19, 2011 at 12:13pm: we are staying at the Residence Inn had friends say it was really nice, plus we can get our money back with less then 24 hrs notice if plans change.

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 19, 2011 at 12:09pm: Dianne - glad to hear a good recommendation for Marriott's Residence Inn. That is where we are staying. Wanted to be sure we had ample room to sit and relax with our son.

Comment by diannep on November 19, 2011 at 11:44am: I want to plug Residence Inn Waukegan because we really enjoyed our stay, It is PET FRIENDLY, has the PIR shuttle, and a free hot breakfast buffet. About 4.5 miles from the base.

Comment by Craig on November 19, 2011 at 1:34am: For those that need info on hotels in Great Lakes....

Comment by Presleysmom on November 19, 2011 at 1:06am: Thank you all I will try and be patient. Really hard. I will just keep waiting. Ruth I hope we both get a call really, really soon.

Comment by RuthL on November 18, 2011 at 7:26pm: Presleysmom-

I am in the same boat you are. So many families my daughters division received calls and I haven’t heard a word. Her letters are upbeat and positive. I guess we just have to wait it out and be patient.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 18, 2011 at 6:38pm: It is "847"area code. Sometimes "US GOVERNMENT".

Comment by diannep on November 18, 2011 at 6:37pm: The calls can come in as "pay phone" sometimes, 847 area code usually. But beware....some of the calls have come from other Chicago-area area codes, so it is best to answer ALL CALLS while you have an SR at bootcamp...just in case!

Comment by Batmansmom531 on November 18, 2011 at 5:29pm: My son is 03 div 26 and we just spoke to him!!! Thank the Lord, his voice sounds raspy, said he is getting over a nasty cough, and its cold up there, but otherwise he sounds great. He said they work them HARD, but its to be expected. He finally received some of our letters, and that eases my heart......the call is a welcome blessing, but, now I miss him more. I was able to conference in my daughter, my son and my sister so he was able to speak to a few of us with one call. Thank goodness for call conferencing!! I pray that those of you waiting for calls get them soon.
