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."

They don't get leave after graduation (PIR) the Navy sends them right to their school. The only time that is different is if they are one of two groups who PIR right around Christmas time frame.
Not sure who is telling you that information, but they are giving you bad info.
The first time they get leave is after their training is over and before they report to their first command

As Angie said, he will not have leave until after "A" School is completed at this time of year. Is his rating going to be Electrician's Mate (EM)? If so, he may be staying in GL for “A” School, so he will have daytime Liberty each day of the 4 day weekend. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) for more on that and I invite you to join that group while you are there and to check out the other Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) as well.

thank u for the information, since we have not heard from him i have no idea where he is going to school, we havent even gotten a letter or phone call so distraught not knowing if he is ok, He did take a phone card with him so that is not the reason he hasnt called.

Given his date of arrival at the RTC, it is very possible that the first time he had holiday routine and was able to write was this past Sunday and then again on Monday since it was a federal holiday, which also meant that letters went out Tuesday this week instead of Monday, so you may have a "real" letter or 2 this week. Phone Cards and Phone Calls and Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will tell you more about phone calls (don't expect many--he doesn't choose when to call; the RDC does) and letters (about one a week once he can write). I invite you again to join that group while you are there and to check out the other Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) as well. Remember in the Navy "No news is good news!" he is fine or you would have heard. Here are some things that you do know: he is safe; he is physically fit or will be getting there; he is learning new things that will help him throughout his life; he is being fed well; he has any medical and dental needs taken care of; he is making friends; and you know where he is since he is at the RTC. If there is a problem, you will be called and that is not a call you want to receive. You have placed him in the best hands of all--those of God and the US Navy.
