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."

Hi Carmen47 - how long are you staying for PIR? My son is going to Dam Neck VA for A school so I'm not sure when he will need to fly out. Are you bringing more than 4 people to PIR? My son and my Mother in Law will be staying back and watching PIR on the Internet.

Hi Carmen47 - after seeing a too much negative about the Ramada I decided to switch to the Navy Gateway. They still had rooms when I called this afternoon. The number I called to make a reservation is (847)689-1485.

My son is ship 13 division 307. My letter had all 4 of us listed for PIR. Me, my husband, my son (14), and my daughter (9). There are only 3 allowed? Great, how do I choose??? I can't wait to get a call or letter. The only thing on the form letter that was added by my son was a smiley face. Lol

Hi GregsMom!! I'm kind of having a down day today. I've been on that roller coaster too. Hoping Brett is doing ok, but really missing him. This is a bad month for me. I'm coming up on the anniversary of my dad dying. He and my son were so close. The 4 th of July was special for them. Guess that's why I miss Brett so much right now. I'm trying to stay busy. Sorry for being such a downer today.

Are most of you staying the nights of the 15th and 16th for PIR? I've got to make a reservation. Sounds like some of you are going to the Ramada Inn, guess I will try there first.
