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."

My son leaves from MASS on May 31.. anyone else?

That's great. Yes, they will graduate 7/29. Now time to start those letters. It means a lot to the recruit to hear from home.
So out of the loop as just returned from my dad's funeral in the midwest. The box was here when I got home...not sure when I recieved it. I left Saturday and returned today so not sure. Don't know if she will graduate 7/29? Did you all get a call from the recruiter or an email? I did have a certified slip for a letter when I got home...did your letters come certified? Dying to get an address.....thinking of all of them constantly!
So sorry you lost your dad, Kathy. Having Kelly just gone must make it extra tough. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I'm pretty sure Kelly will graduate 7/29, though technically we don't know until notified (and even then we are warned not to make reservations that can't be changed). I contacted my daughter's recruiter by e-mail and he sent the info back to me. I don't think they will do that unless you ask. You just need the ship and division and then you can get the address from the RTC web site.
I have heard that the information you get from recruiters can be wrong, so I am keeping copies of the letters I send Charlotte, just in case I find out I'm sending them to the wrong ship.
It's tough having our kids gone, like this, but we all know its for the best in the long run.

How do you all know the PIR will be July 29? Did anyone get form letter yet? Our recruiter told me 9 weeks and that's not July 29??? Laura.....anything yet?
