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 337 & 338 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 337 & 338. 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!!!

Where do you see that information about the calls? My son is in ship 03 div 337 - we were starting to worry about the sailor call - we have asked all kinds of questions but our son has not really informed us of to much about his job or where they are at in their training? He did draw one of his really cute characters in his last letter so to me that means his spirits are good ;)!!!!
We are from Washington and our plane leaves Wednesday for Chicago - I hope we get the call before then!!
We wrote him with our flight information so he knows our time frames. Can not wait to see him and give him a big hug- all our kids/spouses/fiancé need the hugs - miss him like crazy!!!
Not to much longer ;) -

If you go to the other divisions sites you can read posts to see if they got calls. That's how I know about those divisions. On n4m there s a battlstations slideshow which says they go in grps of 2-4 divisions and start n order, thus 327-333. Hoe that Helios. N

We fly out on Wednesday too!!!! We mailed our son a letter with our flight information so he would know when we are on the plane. We are anxiously waiting the for the phone call telling us he is a sailor - if anyone gets that call in can they let us know?
