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 023 and 024 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 023 and 024
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!!!

My son is in the same Div. Where is your daughter headed for A school? It's so nice to see a few others in the same Div. I was beginning to think someone captured my son. Still haven't heard a thing...no phone calls...no letters. I'm just hoping he's received all of mine! I just wish I would hear "something! !" Although, I'm told " no news is good news!!"

She'll be staying in GL for A school. How about your son? I was fortunate enough to get a 1minute phone call only because the records vault needed her USNSCC records faxed. But I got to hear her voice, even if it was just for a second :) still waiting for a regular phone call and no letters here, either. Checking every day! :)

My son is going to San Antonio for A school. Oh man...I wish I'd get even a minute call. We're you able to talk about anything else?

San Antonio, I wish she was going somewhere closer to home. Is that anywhere near you? We're from CA, she's going to be so far away for so long. No, didn't get to talk about anything else, I did sneak in "Are you ok?", otherwise it was a very quick, here's the fax #, please hurry and send, call. I've been an emotional mess, so it did help to hear that she sounded "normal". Not sad, depressed, etc. I wish you'd gotten a call, too. This is so hard.

From what I understand the girls from both divisions are in the same sleeping quarters, so maybe our daughters know each other by now. Where does yours go to A school?

Maybe they do! Do you have any idea how many females are in the division? She'll be staying in GL for her A school. Yours?

No idea how many females there are... Mine goes to Pensacola for A school.
