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."

Not as of today. My friend's daughter started a week earlier than ours. She got the first letter on Thursday of the second week. Tomorrow I'm hoping.....though I know all divisions are different and each RDC runs things differently. She also got a phone call the second Saturday.
