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."

What hotel is everybody staying at?

Thought it might be nice for everybody to say where they are staying for PIR as a means of knowing who will be in the same place, taking the shuttles, carpooling, etc. and maybe even getting together in the afternoon/evening for table games and fun with our new sailors.

me (Chris), my husband Bob,  son # 1 - Matt (25) is flying in from Phoenix Thursday night,  son #2 - Tim (21), daughter -

Megan (12), my mom Helen, and recruit's friend Josh (18).  We are staying at the SpringHill Suites in Waukegan and I am

Penny and Deb, we are also staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Waukegan. We are driving from SC. We plan to leave about 2 am and hope to be there by 8:00 pm Wednesday, Jan. 26. We'll need most of the day Thursday to recover from the drive. We have four drivers and will switch out as needed. I'm praying for good weather...no snow or ice.

We will be staying at the Mariott Residence Inn in Waukegan. We will arrive on Thursday. We plan to stay the entire weekend because as far as we  know our Sailor will be able to stay the weekend with us because he is staying in GL.
