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."

You should be able to get the temporary address from the recuiter. Here is a great site that will give you a lot of info http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/index.asp You'll need Mozilla Foxfire or Google Chrome browser to assess it. if you can't assess it just download on of them...easy and free. You'll need assess to this site to download the parking pass.
you'll get the form letter in a week to 2 weeks...delivered by snail mail. It will have the ship, division, permanant address, grad date and info, password for gate pass (do NOT lose) and a few lines from your rct.
The box of clothes. will be delivered via FedEx it will have his clothes and other things that he couldn't keep at RTC.
And you're welcome for the help. I was in your place about a year ago. Just pay it forward. When your rct is getting ready to graduate....look back and see how the new N4M's comments mirror yours now and let them know that they are not alone and that the feelings they have are normal and will get better
