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."

The box will be delivered by FedEx it will be all his clothes and shoes he was wearing cell phone or anything else he had with him that he is unable to keep

I know it's hard start writing him now and number each so he knows the order to read. This way you will have letters ready when you get the address!!! It will be in the form letter which you should get 7-10 after the box. Now if you tell me the date he arrived at BC I can give you a idea when his PIR will be
