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."

No, The Form Letter arrives in the mail an average of 10 days after the recruit's arrival at the RTC. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening and what to expect.
I left info for you on your My Page.

I missed the call. But this is my 3 child in the Navy. It's different this time because it's my baby girl though. It so exciting to see other parents of young ladies on here. I went out and bought 18 Hallmark cards and starte writing so that as soon as her letter gets here I can pop it in the mail. Be sure to send them stamps if they didn't take any or not enough...

Best wishes to your daughter. My son took lots of stamps, I even told him to share with shipmates that don't have any. I already started writing letters. Just waiting for form letter to get the address. :)
