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."

He should be able to send you an email address. I know I just got my son's new email address a week ago from him on board. They are busy so it takes a bit to find out how to do everything on the ship. This is my son's 2nd deployment on the USS GeoWash. He was also deployed on the USS Mustin. He had a different email address each time. Surely your son will contact you when he can. Good Luck!

I do know that his box number should be specific to him. When my son called me the first time from the ship, he was able to tell me his box number so I could send him packages and mail. I think if you leave the box number out, it will take longer to get to him as there are so many people aboard ship.
It's worth a try sending a letter. Send him a self addressed stamp envelope to send you back the info you need. I've had to do this or I'd never get return mail (son is not a writer) lol :) good luck -
