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."

My son's father and I are divorced so his father received the call not I but I'm sure it was because he knew I would ask him questions and be emotional, lol. There is no such thing as a short phone call to me Lol.
I sent him a letter asap too. His birthday is tomorrow so I sent a card too.

I found the website a week before he left and I am so thankful I did. I'd be a mess and lost without it.

Since your recruit will be in the Nuclear Field, you will want to join NUKE moms and you may also want to check out Nuke School Charleston and Nuke A School FAQ.
The Rating Information Card for NF can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/nukepower.pdf. (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.)
Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.
Your Sailor may have Prototype in Ballston Spa, NY; if so, join Moms/Dads/Families with Nukes in Ballston Spa, NY at that time. Some stay in Charleston.

My son is this div as well. His birthday is Wed. I had a son in Marine boot and we couldn't send anything but letters. I'm wondering how strict this boot is.

You can send cards; be careful about advertizing his birthday, though. Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit will let you know what you can and cannot send.
