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."

Your daughter will just have gotten out of P-days Tuesday, so the first Mail Call will most liklely not be until about 1-4 DOT, which will be Monday, so don't worry. She may mention not receiving letters in her first letter, which she should be able to write on Sunday during "holiday routine", but know that no one else in her division will have gotten letters.
The form letter is mailed most of the time when regular P-days are over, so it would have been mailed Tuesday.

I hope she doesn't worry about not getting any letters!! I mailed 4 yesterday, mailing another today! lol and she has several friends mailing some out :)

That is typical this early. Many get some form of Ricky Crud and are homesick to some degree, but things do get better and he will get over both.
