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."

My son left on the 13th, I did receive his box, but no letter yet. I asked the recrruiter for his division etc. He stated the ship was 14 div 222 and grad date July 10th which cant come soon enough. This is so difficult not being able to talk to him

Proud Navy Mom, Division 222 has PIR on 06/26/2015 and yes, that division is on Ship 14, but there is no way that your recruit is in that division. I'm not sure which divisions in the 07/10/2015 TG will be on Ship 14. Wait a day or so more. The Form Letter typically arrives an average of 10 days after arrival. As you can see others with recruits who arrived a day before your recruit have received the letter today. Your recruit has to be in a division that is 231 or higher since the RTC has confirmed that Division 230 is the last regular division in the 07/02/2015 TG. We know that Divisions 231 and 232 are on Ship 12. See http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp. DON'T send any letters based on the info that you received from the recruiter since it is WRONG!

Would be the reason why we haven't received it yet?
