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."

Has his family received the form letter with his address and PIR date? That form letter also lists the four people who he intends to list on the Access List. Most with recruits who arrived on that date have received the form letter. He will most likely have PIR on 12/28/2012. That is great that your mom gave you that gift. I'm sure you will be getting a letter soon since he should be able to write tomorrow.
You may wish to join, or at least check out, Girlfriends, Fiances,and Wives of Sailors, Boot Camp Girlfriends, Boot Camp Mom's, PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here.
You may also want to join the group, PIR 12/28/2012 TG 7 - 8 Divisions (039 - 044, 906 & 907), because unless he was held over in P-days for some reason, that is his PIR date.

Hello there lemon! ;) My son left for bootcamp Oct. 1 and we didn't get a personal letter from him until close to 3 and half weeks. We did get a formal letter that was just signed by him with the list of people (4 only) allowed to go to graduation about two weeks into it. So anyway, no worries. Though it's so tough waiting, you will get your letter soon. :) Hang in there.
