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 replying! My son is a sailor so obviously not in this division, but just wanted to say...keep inviting ladies as you see them join the group. Sometimes there are just a few on here from a particular division; other times, there are more. Don't give up! They'll find you!

I stayed at the Navy Lodge - You will possibly be asked your recruits name. Some say you have to bring them by to verify...but I have not got a confirm on that yet. I have dependant ID through hubby (AF - son is the Sailor) so used that instead. It is clean, there are some kitchnettes. We had two queens and a rollaway bed. Coffee 24/7 and they do a brown bag breakfast with a bagel, cream cheese, chewy granola bar and large bottle of OJ. One of my sons loved this breakfast! It was perfect for rushing off to PIR! It's packed in a Navy Lodge brown bag.Laundry room, vending machines, microwave, small fridge, souveniours to purchase. There is a gas station down the street and a small NEX ...have to have ID but I believe that they will give you a pass for it if you are a guest. No pool. I like to stay military if I can (There is a Navy Gateway Inn on the Main Base - not RTC...didn't know that when I went to PIR...missed it somehow!).
