Write her everyday NOW. Once you have the address, you can send her all the letters together. Send to pictures too, I assume recruits can't have any modern electronic devices.

She's going in RTC as AV but will probably come out of Pensacola as AE or AT.
Sorry to ask, but what is an AV, AE or AT in Navy career fields ?

AE = Aviation Electrician' Mate
AT = Aviation Electronic Technician.
AV is not a rating in and of itself - but a community distinction on going in: aviation, surface, etc. The two ratings listed are aviation ratings. Other services use codes called an "MOS" or Military Occupational Specialty. The Navy has a long history of describing career specialists using ratings, and has maintained that. More detail at http://www.navy.mil/navydata/navy_legacy_hr.asp?id=264
Technically speaking, rank applies to officers, rating to enlisted...That rating is then used within the Navy structure to properly title someone. so, for our Aviation Electrician example:
E-1 Seaman Recruit SR
E-2 Seaman Apprentice SA
E-3 Seaman AESN
E-4 Petty Officer 3rd Class AE3
E-5 Petty Officer 2nd Class AE2
E-6 Petty Officer 1st Class AE1
E-7 Chief Petty Officer AEC
E-8 Senior Chief Petty Officer AECS
E-8 Master Chief Petty Officer AECM
for the OP - I hope you've been through this site:
