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."

Call from his recruiter today. Ship 3 Div.354
It would seem from what I couldn't find anywhere.... He's in this ship/division all alone? lol.
Recruiter did not know his PIR date yet. Kyle left on the 4th. I'm thrilled to have his address, but, I'm worried it might not be correct... Anyone else out there in the same "boat" (please excuse the pun) :)

Hi kkbmom, My daughter left on the 4th also. Still no info on Ship or Div. I haven't gotten "the letter" yet. I have decided to wait until I see it on paper before I send anything, since other navymoms said sometimes the recruiters make a mistake and then their mail can be lost for a while, so I figured that I would wait. I just know,lol, that it will be here this week:) I hope the navy agrees.

Join the group, PIR 11/02/2012 TG 51 (clickable link), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Know that divisions 353 and 354 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so watch for others with loved ones in either division. Since you received the address from the recruiter, be sure to go to http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/contact_recruit.asp and double-check the address since some recruiters give a generic address for the RTC and if the street address is not correct, it can delay mail to your recruit for up to 3 weeks.

Hi lemonelephant! I'm pretty new here still, and you've already given me so much great advice and reassurance...thank you! Now, here's my first official question: Just received my form letter with ship/division info., but the four digit zip code ending is different on the portion my son hand wrote than that found in the link you provided to double check that information. He is on Ship 3 Division 354 and the zip ending he wrote is for Ship 4...oh dear, do you think he may have made a mistake?

Don't worry about the +4. You can use the numbers he indicated or those on the RTC site. The Ship and Division numbers and street address are the most important (and of course SR Last Name, First Name MI). We have seen the +4 be reversed for those 2 ships before and letters arrived to the recruits.
