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."

I'm staying at Candlewood Suites - it was 69 and I think the Springwood Suites are 79. In addition if you page back to about page 3 -6 depending on when you read this CL's wife who is in the 10/29 PIR group that I met in Boot Camp for Moms dropped by to say she had gotten a good rate at Motel Six plus found a coupon code that gave her an extra 10.00 off. Also I would say that members of the last several PIR groups have said stay aways from the Ramada, it is dark, dank, smoky and just not nice! Hope that helps!!

Quality Inn is $85.00/night for a room with 2 queens. Had to call the Waukegan, IL location directly for the graduation discount - their toll-free reservation system did not show any discount available. The flyer we got shows they have a shuttle, so I'm hoping that's true. I forgot to ask when I called. Wonder if any of us will even sleep Thursday night. We'll be so excited!

Hello, We are staying at America's Best Value Inn, Waukegan. They have free shuttle to base (approx 7 mi). Got a good rate. Our room normally 89.99 per nite. But if you tell them you are there for PIR rooms are 59.99. They have internet, cont. breakfast etc.. And heated indoor pool, that my son wanted our hotel to have. Looking forward to meeting many of you at the meet and greet. We are in Indiana, so we are driving up on Thurs. about a 4 1/2 hour drive. Planning to get through Chicago before the Crazy rush hour traffic.... lol... So excited that PIR is getting close...
