Quick translation into the regular alphabet gives you: "3am, two dead men, and Kandahar." Kandahar, Afghanistan, is more than likely where Frank Castle was deployed, since he mentioned to an old Marine veteran back in Daredevil Season 2 that he was in Afghanistan.
The name of all of the episodes are:
- "3 AM"
- "Two Dead Men"
- "Kandahar"
- "Resupply"
- "Gunner"
- "The Judas Goat"
- "Crosshairs"
- "Cold Steel"
- "Front Toward Enemy"
- "Virtue of the Vicious"
- "Danger Close"
- "Home"
- "Memento Mori"
Following the standard 13 episode format for all of the series, this seems to make sense. The series of tweets ends with a very cryptic video meant to invoke the feeling of something being classified by the military.

The video ends with an ambiguous date in 2017. However, I have my own personal theory on this.
One of the directors on The Punisher accidentally revealed the show's premiere month. The director said Netflix was planning to release his episode in November. Knowing the structure of every Netflix's television show, this basically means that every episode drops with the whole season for maximum binging results. Netflix also releases a lot of their shows on a Friday, once again for maximum binging results.
If Marvel and Netflix were to drop it on any Friday to get the best results, it would be over Veteran's Day weekend. The day before Veteran's Day is also the Marine Corps' Birthday. What better way to celebrate the anniversary of the Corps than by having its favorite fictional son's television show released on the same day?
I'm open to criticism if I'm wrong, but if I'm right this could be one of the best birthday gifts ever.
