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."

On the web are a couple of different ones. I think this is the one I called. 847-689-1485. They do not have a shuttle to PIR. Make sure you get your parking pass!

I just went through PIR in May with my son and now am 'going thru it again' with my sons' best friend and girl friend. Just wanted to say hello and not just 'lurk' :)
Sounds like ya'll are getting "PIR" letters and your count downs have begun in earnest! I would encourage attending PIR if at all possible-- it's awesome and not something you'll easily forget. :)
Have a great day! -

Hi..my son is Ship 12 Div 286, too. He shipped out of Raleigh NC on 7/11. No military experience here. This site is so helpful. He'll be attending A school in Great Lakes, as well.

Yes! I received my son's form letter last Thursday. I am anxiously waiting for my first letter from him!
I was nervous about the limit of 4 people that could attend PIR, but then when I found out that retired military do not count towards the four person limit I was totally relieved. My son is heading to I.T. "A" school in Pensacola ... I am so excited and proud of him :)

Tiffany95356 - I will also have one son heading to Pensacola for IT A school. And one to San Antonio for HM A school. I just hope to get to spend some time with them before their flights. We ate from AL, so we can go see our son in Pensacola pretty easy, but San Antonio will be a trek!
