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."

This is a copy of a post by lemonelephant, I couldn't figure out how to send you to that page. Hope this helps. Welcome aboard.
The Gateway Inn and Suites is what you are both talking about. The Navy Lodge is a different place.
The Navy Gateway Inns & Suites is located on the main part of the base, about 1.5 miles from RTC. Go to http://ngis.dodlodging.net/propertys/Great-Lakes or call 877-NavyBed (877-628-9233). Your recruit/Sailor can be your sponsor if you do not have a military or dependent ID, but you must have a background check, so be sure to make your reservations about 4 weeks before PIR to give time for the background check. There are restrictions on where you can go on base without your Sailor being with you. Taxis and shuttles pick up and drop off at the gate, so it is better if you have a vehicle if staying at the Gateway Inn and Suites. If your Sailor will be staying at GL for "A" School or training, s/he will have to get a deviation chit in order to visit you there. There are standard rooms, rooms with a kitchen, and suites. All rooms include a refrigerator, microwave, and free Wifi. A continental breakfast is available. (d2b2707, your Sailor will not need the deviation chit since she will fly out to "A" School.)
The Navy Lodge is located 1.9 miles off base from RTC and guests of graduation are allowed to stay there since your recruit/Sailor will be your sponsor. Go to https://www.navy-lodge.com/lodge_page.html?p_lodge_number=05 or call (847)689-1485. All rooms are non-smoking. They also have some family suites that include a kitchen. All rooms include a refrigerator, microwave, and free Wifi. They have a breakfast to go that you can take with you to PIR. The Navy Lodge permits pets.
