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 just joined N4M this weekend and I'm still trying to navigate this site. My SR is S12/D237 and his PIR date is June 28. We are staying kind of far out in the Marriott/ Arlington Heights. We wanted to be in between the base and Chicago, but I think maybe we are too far away for all the fun. I wonder if we should try to relocate.

Join the group, PIR 06/28/2013 TG 33 - 12 Divisions (237-246, 814 and 933), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.
I see from your profile page that your SR will be an HM; sometime between now and the end of BC, you will want to join HM (Hospital Corpsman) A School in San Antonio.
(Group names within this reply are clickable links.)

I just did that, thank you for the information! I feel clueless!

You are very welcome. Your SR's time in BC is also a learning experience for you. You will be less clueless as time goes on. Check out the Pages and recent discussions in each of the groups you are a member of.
The Rating Information Card for HM can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/hm.pdf. It indicates 19 weeks, but "A" School is 14 weeks after classing up.

There is a discussion for each of the dfferent divisions (brother divisions) within the group for the PIR date. There is not (or at least should not be) a group for a particular ship/div.

The Discussion for that division and its brother division is Ship 03 (USS Hopper) Divisions 243 and 244 (Brother Divisions) within PIR 06/28/2013 TG 33 - 12 Divisions (237-246, 814 and 933),
