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."

We received the box the following week. My son also left 1/6/10. I think I would check on this with the recruiter. Has your son called yet? I would ask him via phone call or letter what was shipped in the box. Our box was shipped via Fed Ex which means someone has a tracking number.
I did not mention this to my son until last week, on the letter I sent. I did not want him to loose focus the first few weeks of bootcamp so I did not tell him. Fed Ex called us on 01/12/10 to verify the address, unfortunately my husband did not get a tracking#. We called FedEx twice and gave them our address and names. Both times they told us they did not find our info on the system. I am still hoping that it gets to us somehow, sometime.
Als0- when they reach boot camp the have the option of donating to clothes.. maybe he did that!
I am sure he sent his clothes home, most specially his shoes...As I mentioned before, we got a call from FedEx but the box never came.
Someone in Great Lkes has to have that thrackign number I would call his recruiter and see if he or she can help you.
Got a letter from my son today. He now knows about his box so he said he will ask around. Hopefully he can get the tracking#. His phone's in the box so I do hope he can find someone who can help him locate it.
