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."

I think it is finally hitting me that my little girl is not here! I know she is an adult and this is a great thing for her...but it sure would be nice just to hear her voice!!! I have been ok with this until right now!!! I guess I just shouldnt think about it, makes it a little easier!

Any calls will be up to the RDC, but remember there are a whole lot of Recruits at the RTC and it would be very hard to give all of them even 5 minutes at the phone banks on one day, some have been adopted out, so that means there are 2 TG's less at the RTC. Don't expect a call, but have your phone available and be pleasantly surprised if you do get one. (See Phone Cards and Phone Calls.)

Yes, I put "(generally 6000-7000 or more)" in the link above. (See Phone Cards and Phone Calls.) I figured it just as you did. When you add those in Ship 4 and Ship 5, the number can easily be well over 7000 at any one time depending on the number of divisions in each TG.

I was hoping for a phone call today, too! I received my daughter's box with her clothes yesterday, but didn't receive any address to write to her. Does anybody know if that is normal? I was doing fine until I opened the box and saw her stuff.

Yes, the form letter arrives separately from the box. The box is shipped just as P-days are starting and the form letter is mailed when P-days are over and your recruit has been officially assigned to a ship.

My son left on November 13th. Ship 14 Div 055. I got his box of clothes and the form letter last Monday but I have yet to hear from him yet either by phone or mail. I did not even get a "I am here" call the night he arrived. I feel like a bad Mom because I did not send him with a phone card. I hope that is not the reason he hasn't called. But I mailed him one last week and also mailed him some stamps, so hopefully I will hear something soon. But no news is good news right?
