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 also if he didn't take any of his banking info with him, he will open an account while at Great Lakes, or he could have just decided to open an account and have his pay sent there. I would recommend you write him and see what he did

He did take a blank check with him because he has an acct here at home, but I will write and ask him to verify that he didn't go open a new account!

When Will the Recruits be Paid? and Information for Spouses will give you more information on that. Since a recruit must have been at the RTC 3 full weeks to be paid on a particular pay day, his first pay day will be 1 June. Since that is on a weekend, it will be 31 May. Pay days are the 1st and the 15th, a day earlier if the recruit uses NFCU and some other institutions.
