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."

Ship 03 (USS Hopper) Divisions 203 - 204 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 203 and 204
These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.
Get to know each other, your SRs are!

Every single question that is asked is important
Every single concern is genuine
Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Welcome Dee. My SR is in Ship 3 Division 204!! He called Saturday and said he likes boot camp, although very busy. He is in a good place with good mentors. Sounds like a good group of people to be surrounded with. He likes the RDC, not difficult to get along with. Hope to connect again with our SR this weekend? Hope you get a call as well.
