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."

They have a shuttle that will take you from the hotel to the base for PIR and back again so you don't have to drive if you don't want to. Makes it kinda nice.

Awesome. That's where I'm staying too so let me know how it is. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

My man's PIR isn't until the 23rd. Your PIR is the last one until then. For some reason they took a week off. I am going crazy. It's getting so close and I just can't WAIT to see his face again!! I think that sitting there and watching him during PIR is going to be pure torture for me. You have to let me know how it goes though. Where are you staying?
