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."

It is different for each division. Many do have to check in at night and stay on base. Others fly out after a few hours. Still others check into the A school side of Great Lakes and then are allowed the weekend with their family. Your recruit will let you know whether or not he is a grad and go. Do you know where his A school will be? Or what his rate will be (job)?

Her A school is just across the street from boot camp, and she will be a BM.

She might move across the street on Friday, if so, there is a good chance she will have the entire weekend. If not, she will check back into the RTC side each evening. Ask her to let you know if she is grad and go when she finds out.
Have you found the New Moms Stop Here group yet? They're very supportive with a ton of information.
