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."

It actually happens often for those who ship on a Monday or Tuesday as your recruit did.
All recruits regardless of division number or when they arrived have 6 weeks of actual training, so your recruit will have time for all of the training he needs to be a US Navy Sailor.
Those who fill one of the last divisions of a TG are usually in Push Divisions and have Battle Stations-21 (BST) last and make the "I'm a Sailor!" call only a day or so (Wednesday or Thursday) before PIR and so they don't get the extras after BST (extra practice for PIR and extra down time for Sea stories from the RDC and time to learn trick marches for example) and must push to make it through on time the first time since they have no extra days for anyone in the division who fails the Official PFA and is moved to FIT to still have PIR with the division.
All rifle divisions have a "brother" division. They are called brother divisions even if they are integrated divisions. Divisions 175 and 176 are brother divisions. When a division is an integrated division, then the males of the two divisions share a compartment and the females of the two divisions share a compartment across the hall. Whether the divisions are all male or integrated, the two divisions are on the same DOT and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together. See Arrival and What Happens at RTC and Ship/Division--How it Works.
The Page, What does ??? mean? (A Guide to Navy Abbreviations and Terminology), will help you with many of the new terms you will come across.
