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 have made my reservations for PIR and will be staying at the Ramada Inn as well. They had the best rates from what I could find.
Sunshine... so you have only received the form letter? That seems odd that you haven't receive the box yet. My SR was able to call on Sunday, but my phone never rang. He spoke to his girlfriend. It sounded like the guys were becoming good friends. My son was sick with a terrible cold, so his VM sounded funny, but his tone was upbeat. He did mention he had IT on Sunday for talking in chow line, but that isn't a shock...my son is a chatter box!! I hope you get to hear from your hubby very soon!
Hugs to all of you!!

Thank you but I haven't received the box, form letter, or anything from my hubby.... I called his recruiter in order to get a mailing address... I've mailed ten greeting cards and haven't received anything.... Also, the only way I knew to get my military I.d. card was that I was told to call the DMDD office... But no nothing... If your son can say hi to my hubby his name is Carlos... And I'm concerned.... His recruiter did let me know that his PIR is on may 2, 2014.... I have not spoken to my husband since March 4....

Ok, went in tonight and made out reservations. We are staying at the Ramada Inn. Last time we were there, they had a meet & greet at the restaurant/bar area on Thursday night.

The Ramada hasn't posted a meet and greet in quite a while, not sure if they still have one. Have they told you they do? You may also want to check out Sarges M&G, he has a lot of info for you about PIR etc.

It was on the pamphlet sent with the formal letter. I was planning on Sarge's as well. Thanks for the info ellen :)

I see several of you have booked the Ramada Inn. If you haven't yet done so please check the reviews of the hotel, we have heatd both good and bad. They are currently in the process of renovating.

I just got my first 2 letters from my SR. He sounded so good it sure did ease my mind a lot. He says he wants a 2 hour shower 2 mins just is not enough. He got 2 teeth pulled and said he got to sleep for 2 days. I can't wait to see him.
