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."

Anyone else's son or daughter leave on 6/10/14
My son left Seattle, WA on 6/10 for Navy Boot Camp. Anyone else on here leave at the same time? Wondering if anyone may be on the same time frame as I am? Thanks-Donna (Proud mom SR)

Glad you got to hear from him though gasman1423. that is what I am waiting for. I have plenty of letters to send just as soon as I get that address. It will be nice to know that possibly some of the people that I am talking to will have sons in the same division, since we all left for BC the same day. But my son said that he would be placed in a Push Division....??

Glad you got it thought....it is a little bittersweet, but Im so glad its moving along as the forum keeps telling us it will. I like when I can guestimate things based on others experiences. I am hoping the letter will arrive by Thurs. I don't know. did your son have any musical skills? I can't remember if it was you or another mom that was asking about the 900 division.

I ripped it open just for the "boy" smell. Typical contents clothes, shoes, phone and 52 cents. And his boarding pass and paperwork.

No form letter for us yet. We got her address from her recruiter, but I'm a little hesitant to send anything from what I've read online. Hopefully letter will arrive soon and then I will know the address for sure.

Have you received the form letter and box yet? He's musical then? I was wondering if my son might say he can play guitar, bass & the piano but he was advised not to mention it because they have to do a lot of rehearsals and he needed to focus on the study portion.
