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."

That is great to hear. I will be looking for a letter from my SR tomorrow. Im guessing that he wrote the letter on Sunday. Did he say what day Hell week will star? If we go by the DOT we know then Friday will be 4-1. Now obviously since they are a push division they must get their training done more quickly so we cannot go soley on the day to day that is listed on navedep.com so I'm curious when Hell Week will start.

I haven't seen much mention of anyone other than skibluedoggy getting a letter this week & no phone calls. I didn't get either from mine. Neither did his GF. I'm guessing they are just really busy. I'm not worried because I know they are fine but am just hungry for any information. This week has been the hardest so far for me. Heck you should have seen me when Sarge's meet and greet was posted. I was crying like a baby! I cried because I was happy that we are far enough along for it to be posted and because three weeks feels like forever. I have made a concerted effort not to bring up my SR everytime I see a friend but so far I'm not succeeding. My SR told me that they live, eat, breath RTC. I wonder if they realize that we live, eat, breath them

VKat, I've been feeling the same way. Anxious to hear from my SR. Last call and letter received on the 9th.

Me too. That in itself is a comfort. It means they are busy training. They will write/call when they can & they will be happy because they are working together and becoming Sailors
