He says they just need to work on the lack of disicpline...haha!

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.

Live in the Dallas area, No letters here either. So sorry to hear about your son, BHTMom. Sending prayers your way.

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.

 

RTC...Can you clarify the address for Ship 07. Our form letter had 3505 Sailor Drive but the return address on a letter home had 3405 Sailor Drive. Want to be sure we are sending letters to the right place and that our SR has been getting our notes for the last two weeks. Thanks.
