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."

Hi, my son arrived at BC on the 23rd. Just received his box this afternoon. I don't have an address yet or anything. He called the night of the 23rd, so I knew he was okay. My first son went in three years ago, and I've just forgotten everything!! Just anxious to get an address and start sending mail. Oh, the waiting.... Would love to hear his voice.

I called his voicemail the other day just to hear his voice. But you can also always call mine, since he recorded my new voicemail before he left :)

Hi, we called his recruiter on Monday, and he was able to get it for us. Perhaps yours would also have the information available. Good Luck.

My daughter was three weeks one day in before i got her 20 minute call I had her address two days after. I got it from the recruiter. My son has been in almost 2 yrs. It kills not having contact. Both of my kids were sick within the first two weeks of boot camp though. But she is doing very well now. She started gettin mail after two weeks in. I hope this helps.

Hi, My son left for Great Lakes on March 10. Got a quick at 12 midnight that he arrived. He also said it will be 3 weeks before he could call again. I got his cloths back soon after he arrived. I did get a letter from him saying he was okay and seemed very excited about the Navy. I can't wait to hear his voice.. It would be nice if he could call on Easter. I miss him, but am so proud of him.
