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 315 AND 316 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 315 AND 316
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!!!

Sounds like 316 is Female too. So they are Sister Divisions! Mine is in 315.

I just got the letter saying what DIV and when PIR is. He is DIV 315. I'll be so happy when I am able to talk to him.

I found out today from my son's recruiter that he is ship o3 Div 315, I still have no box or form letter. So PIR is 18SEP15? I am lost here, is there a way to double check if what the recruiter has is correct?

I am guessing your box will arrive in the next couple of days, as well as your form letter. If you don't have the box by Tuesday let us know, there may be a way to find out what happened to it.
I am also guessing from reading posts for both these two divisions and the first two divisions in the next TG, your recruiter has the correct information. Your son just happened to get placed in this TG while these two divisions were waiting on females to arrive. :)

My son is also on Ship 03 Div 315. We received the form letter yesterday. His box came earlier this week. It took a week for the letter to get here, so I hope your letter will come soon.

checked for the letter today, nope. Went to the post office here and they have no clue. Not the first time my mail was lost up here in the northern woods. I am so thankful for this forum, I would have no clue . So thank you all for helping me with this mess! Momc, looks like our boys are in the same DIV.
