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."

He'll be able to call, although he might have to check in first, that can take a few hours. He won't be able to use his cell full time, when he is on duty or in class he has to leave it in his room. There is internet access, but it might take him a few days to find it. It is not provided in the barracks.
Weekends... he will have to earn his liberty privileges in order to leave the base, and later, to stay overnight offbase. This will be a few weeks. He will also have duty, I don't know the rotation, but four days is normal. This is in addition to what he does daily. He will be filled in on all these in detail when he goes through INDOC, which tells him all about the base and school policies.
You will be able to spend time with him on weekends, just not right away. I know that was sort of general info, but it will get you started.
