    I've tried changing and deleting the zip code but it won't work. It is printed below the zip that the zip code will not be published but only the city. If it's not published then no one will see it.

    Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) for information on what to expect and to help you prepare for PIR. Start with OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and read 1 or 2 pages a day and then go back to them as you need the info.

    What is your recruit's rating (job/specialty) or field going to be? There are groups for most ratings and/or "A" Schools and knowing that will help you to better plan for PIR weekend.

    Take care and blessings to you and yours.

    You must include a ZIP Code, but no one said you had to put the one fro your home, so choose a ZIP Code for some other city than your own so that the city shown will not be one that can easily be associated with your recruit.

    Make at least change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes. Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your recruit. Be sure to click the "Save" button after making the changes.

    The Page, 800 and 900 Divisions, within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will be of interest to you since you have a recruit in a performing division. I believe that Division 933 is Sticks/Flags.
