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."

Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in July. You will meet others with loved ones leaving that day/week who may be in the same TG as your son and have PIR together.
You may wish to also join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Mom's, PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. Be sure to join the PIR group once that forms. You will see info on that in Boot Camp Mom's and/or at http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date.
Your future Sailor may want to join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view. Craig runs that and will steer you to some good links on there.
(Group names within this cmment are clickable links. To join a group, click on the link and then in the upper right, click on "+ Join....")

You may want to take time over the next few days to write a brief encouraging note to your son to put in his wallet. He will be able to look at it in the days/weeks before he gets mail. You may also encourage him to write a note to you when he is on his way to the RTC and put it in his pocket or shoe for you to help you until you hear from him.

Hey Carmen. Today is departure day? How are you?.. start writing letters (even though you can't mail them yet), it will serve as a catharsis for you. Best Wishes..My son just completed PIR on 6/29 so bootcamp anxiety is still fresh for me. You can friend me and we can inbox each other if you think it will help.
