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."

Irishcat,
Don't feel too bad. The moms that mail letters as soon as they get an (often incorrect) address from the Recruiter are unaware that their early letters just sit in the mail room undelivered. Until Recruits in your son's division learn proper mail handling procedures, nobody gets mail. Now that everyone has the correct address in the form letter, mail will start to flow to your Recruit.
START WRITING NOW! EVERY DAY! EVEN IF ITS JUST A SILLY CARD!
