Since it will be at least 2 calendar weeks since your recruit arrived at the RTC on Thursday, if you do not have a form letter in the mail on that day, then you can call the recruiter and get the address and mail letters to your recruit, but be sure to double-check the address against those at http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/contact_recruit.html or Ship/Division--How it Works.

I finally got my letter today. My son was June 29 arrival. He is ship 12, Div. 265.
LemonElephant was correct, I think this group was too small and held back a division until it filled up.
Let me know if you got your letter today?!! Maybe our kids in same division.

Is he a Nuke? There is 83 in that division , they all live and train together. They absolutely could know each other!

Several others with a recruit who arrived that date are saying they have not received The Form Letter. I am thinking that that is an integrated division and that they had to wait on others, especially females, to arrive to fill the division.

Morning. I just got a pic of the front of form letter thru USPS informed delivery (we are out of town). I am so happy today. I have an address!!!!
My son is in Div. 265, so I am guessing he will be in Sept. 1 PIR now judging by divisions listed on Aug. 25 PIR of this site.
So I can start writing him now!
I cant open letter and be sure until back next monday, but does this sound correct?

An integrated division is one that contains males and females.
They will have holiday routine for the first time on Sunday since they had to wait until the next week for others to fill the division and were in the first division of the following week's TG. That happens sometimes in the summer due to the large number of recruits.
