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."

That is the name, Navy Lodge. I have their 800 number at home, unfortunately I'm at work. But I can give it to you later. We stayed there the first time we went up there. Nice place, freindly staff and the taxi services in town will come there to pick up families to take them to the graduation if you call them, also they'll all be lined up at the front gate of the bc grounds waiting for families to hopefully pick them to take them back to their hotels.

Thanks so much for the info! I got the number online and I booked our stay at Navy Lodge last night. My husband is ex-Army and we use to stay at military hotels when we moved around, but I completely forgot about checking into them until you said something on here. One thing I remember is that they were always pretty clean. Thanks again!

When we went to my oldest son's PIR only my husband and I got to go. This time my youngest son has invited my husband, myself, his brother and his uncle. What are the chances that his brother's girlfriend can get in to PIR too? Has anyone had this experience before and was your extra family member or friend able to get in?
