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."

Thanks. That will help!

Boot camp is in Great Lakes, not Chicago. Try entering Great Lakes Naval Training Center, Ill. and see what happens.

We stayed at the Residence Inn at Great Lakes. They really were good to us and offer a buffet breakfast and dinner to recruit families.

How far does the Residence Inn from the boot camp?
-

I have always been told that it will NOT appear on Google Maps/Mapquest. They are in Great Lakes, IL - you should be getting mail that from your son that will have hotel info in it - at least I did. They put together a package for graduating sailors that has the graduation information in it.

when did they send it to you?

Individual barracks addresses will not appear on Google Maps, but the general RTC will. Just Googlemap "RTC Great Lakes." The photo is old and inaccurate, there has been a lot of construction and destruction, many of those buildings are gone, and many have been built since it was taken.
Google's "A" marker is for the NTC, RTC is just across the street and the graduation hall (MCPON Hall) is at the B marker.
If your recruit is on ship 7, his address is
Ship 7 Div 205
3405 Sailor Drive
Great Lakes, IL 60088

yea I got his address from the letter he sent. Anyway, thanks for the help.
