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."

Hello fellow 369/370 families. I hope everyone will take advantage of having our own division page in order to get to know one another better, create an opportunity to meet at PIR, and to facilitate staying in touch long after the RTC days as our loved ones progress through their careers.
Little trivia - the USS Hopper (DDG-70) was named after a pioneering computer scientist, Rear Admiral "Amazing" Grace Hopper and is the second US Navy warship named for a woman from the Navy's own ranks.. The USS Hopper is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer.

KwajMom- Thanks for the trivia on the USS Hopper name. I was wondering where the name came from and was getting ready to look it up.
My son is Ship03 Div370. I'd love to hear from others of you out there.

What part of Texas? My son left out of Houston. Our home is in SC, but my SR was visiting his brother in the Spring and went to a recruiter not realizing that once he signed up, he couldn't go back home. LOL

From another page I am seeing where the first letters are trickling in from the SRs. Personal messages aside, I think it would be great if we shared the RTC only experiences that they offer in order to get a better idea of what their daily lives look like on Ship 3. Each will no doubt offer a small glimpse of their routine. Together, we could piece together a much larger picture.

I got a letter today too. He started off being funny. say he hate it come get him them lol. which was funny but over all he said it was straight that mean it ok and he's ok. He said they stay busy and being busy days go by fast and on Sunday its holiday routine but they cant go to sleep none during the day. But I know God is keep them. I'm bragging on JESUS now for what he is doing and what he's about to do for Ship 03 369 and 370. Not being selfish I pray for them all. Because God is able to do anything but fail.

That's too funny. Glad Tre' has kept his sense of humor. I'm happy that you received your letter. My SR sounded a bit somber. He's usually more informative. I'm thinking that he was just very tired and didn't have the brain function to write. :P
