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."

we're thinking the Navy Lodge...any thoughts on that for PIR?

I hear good things about it. But there is no shuttle to PIR We are renting a car but the shuttle sounds like the way to go for getting there. I think I have read every review out there and everyone says Navy Lodge is nice, clean and basic.

very nice! I wish we could be there for Christmas too. It is comforting to know in any case that my son will have somewhere to go!

I still have not gotten THE letter, however I did get today the 2011 adopt a sailor form with a note from our SR. It said Check this out, you NEED to show up, Bring -------- (girlfriend) but read the rules. Please figure this out for me.
I love the letter and how strange it is for me to say his handwriting actually has gotten better! Now to decide what to do, I know we are going to do brunch and let him just relax in the hotel. That might be all he wants to do.

That's the form I'm waiting for!!! I hope I get one soon! that is - if our son wants to see us (haha) I've even made the reservations already - without getting the form yet! Where do you live?
