my son also told me it was 3505 which is where I sent my letters - but his came from 3405....so I noticed it too....I'm sure the letters will find them. The address we have might just be for the main building where they will go to be separated to the particular ships and Divisions.

I am so glad I am not the only one, when his recruiter gave me his address she gave me 3405, so I mailed my first letters to there. Then the form letter came with 3505 so I have been sending his mail since to there and that is the address I gave to friends & family. Now his return address is 3405...what to do. I am going to ask on the boot camp group maybe we can get info.
BHT no names next to disicpline I think he meant as a whole....he also had two wisdom teeth pulled but said all is good now.
BrysMom I hope you get your letter tomorrow.

REGARDING THE ADDRESS QUESTION:
Here is the answer from the Facebook page from the RTC. My son's recruiter gave me the 3405 Sailor Dr. address and his form letter had the 3505 address. Looks like the Ship number 07 is the most important part. Our SR's should still get their mail. But the RTC did not tell whether or not the mail was delayed. Hope this answers your question. See below.
