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."

I would first ask if you have a financial POA (power of attorney.)  if so, and you have a copy of the orders to go to bootcamp (and you want minimal orders written up that the recruiter can help you get faxed to you) you then need to call anyone who is owed debt.  Ask them if they accept the orders toward lowering or stopping interest.  If so, get them faxed to them.  The best thing to do is ask, ask again, ask again, speak to supervisors and ask again.  The creditors will know what is eligible, etc. Again, this only covers debt incurred BEFORE they joined.

Note: This law only covers debt incurred prior to military service.
SCRA Eligibility
The SCRA covers all Active Duty servicemembers, Reservists and the members of the National Guard while on active duty. The protection begins on the date of entering active duty and generally terminates within 30 to 90 days after the date of discharge from active duty.

Clarifies and restates existing law that limits to 6 percent interest on credit obligations incurred prior to military service or activation, including credit card debt, for active duty servicemembers. The SCRA unambiguously states that no interest above 6 percent can accrue for credit obligations (that were established prior to active duty or activation) while on active duty, nor can that excess interest become due once the servicemember leaves active duty – instead that portion above 6 percent is permanently forgiven. Furthermore, the monthly payment must be reduced by the amount of interest saved during the covered period.

Servicemembers Civil Relief Act Overview
The Servicemember's Civil Relief Act (SCRA) expanded and improved the former Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act (SSCRA). The SCRA provides a wide range of protections for individuals entering, called to active duty in the military, or deployed servicemembers. It is intended to postpone or suspend certain civil obligations to enable service members to devote full attention to duty and relieve stress on the family members of those deployed servicemembers. A few examples of such obligations you may be protected against are:

Outstanding credit card debt
Mortgage payments
Pending trials
Taxes
Terminations of lease.
