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."

SHIP 07 DIV 272
My son is in Ship 07 Div 272. I received his box and form letter on 7/5. I wanted to make a group so I could be in contact with moms of other recruits in his division so we could share updates. I have made our reservationns for PIR for the hotel (Residence Inn), we are still trying to figure out if we should take the train or fly to GL. We will also be attending the meet and greet on aug.25. I look forward to keeping in touch and meeting everyone!

What do you think? & at what point after going to medical, & real hospital.... why didn't they call or when would they call us?

It sounds like a staph infection. I dontknow why they didn't call, other than the Navy doesn't see her PIR being delayed. I can only imagine the stress that you are under, but don't worry about this ( or try not to worry ).

its not uncommon for a bug bite to get infected/cellulitis. but pus and abscess sounds like it could be infection/mrsa. you can get foliculitis from shaving as well, it could be a number of things, without seeing it its hard to tell. im sure its nothing major , its just one of mom's jobs to worry though.
