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."

And not only am I excited to see my SR, but her sisters live in Pittsburgh, PA (I am in Southern California) and one of them I haven't seen since she moved there in July and the other I haven't seen since January!

Ladies Pretty sure the calls are random and not planned except for the 3 week call.
Some RDCs dont believe in them. We can only HOPE they perform something really well and that is a reward. I could really use a call too. I feel so bad for him right now. A bunch of his girlfriends letters came back with postage due, so I am sure he thinks she has stopped writing to him. Too many letters in one envelope.

Does anyone know exactly where they are in training? Like I think tomorrow is week 5 day 1 but not sure with the holiday in there.

Horselover, I believe our division is on Week 4, Day 4 today.
When my SR called on 8/24, he stated that they would be starting Week 3, Day 1 the following day. And I believe we have to deduct one day for Labor Day - since they were suppose to get a second holiday last Thursday or Friday - instead of this past Monday. So today should be Week 4, Day 4. And tomorrow would be Week 4, Day 5. Make sense?
