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 011 and 012 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 011 and 012
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!
Please still use the Main Wall of the PIR Group to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area as often as we would like.
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!!!

Hi Debra Navy mom, my name is plantlady and although my SR daughter is not in your son's group (she is in Ship 11 Div 15), I thought it would be nice simply to connect. I too would love to find others in my SR's specific group and have posted in that discussion group, but no luck yet. Anyway Hello!

My son is ship 3 division 11. He goes to Pensacola for A school. I talked to him last Sunday, he said he loved it and the food was good. But I still miss him something terrible.

Hi Collin's mom, my son is in Div 12 and is going to Pensacola also. He called last Sunday and it was so good to hear his voice. Amazing how that can sooth a moms heart and settle many fears!! We are staying at the Navy Lodge. We get in on the 18th and will stay over the weekend. I'm hoping that he will have Saturday... but we will see. Hope to maybe meet you.

My son will be AE or AT.
Sorry, I'm not on here much, I found the FB pages to get around easier than this website. Although this website is great, I just get around faster on the FB pages. -
