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."

Do you all realize that, if they don't get to mail anything other than on Sundays still, that this Sunday - TWO DAYS from now - will be the last time they can send mail. Sigh.
Now, if you aren't leaving till Thursday before PIR and you typically get letters on Tues or Wed, then perhaps you'll get mail that last week.
Not me, though. If he mails on Sunday, I get them Thursday. By Thursday, I'll be in Chicago.
I'm praying they get to send mail more days than just Sunday this week.
Also, don't forget that Monday is a holiday, so letters may arrive a day later than we are used to.

Totally forgot about that Monday holiday thing again since I have to work. I was hoping that if they passed BST21 than they would get to mail more letters but by then we will be in the traveling mode, right?

Well, if they don't do BS21 until that last week before PIR, any extra mail days will mean nothing since we'll all be there anyway.
Our div won't even be finishing week 5 until Tuesday next week. They'll start training week 6 on Wednesday. Unless they are going to do BS early in their last training week. . . I guess it's possible. It's just not what I've seen as typical.

This will be the last sunday for mail (im thinking).. they will be soooo busy with test 3, bs21, PIR PRACTICE (YAY) .. and well at least for me it seems to take about 4 days for mail to reach him and 2 days for it to reach me..thursday the 23rd will be my last letter.. feels weird since ive been mailing out almost everyday, my mailman will be sad lol
