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 member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

I got a letter too! We aren't far from Great Lakes, so it got here quickly. It was stamped 10-18, so Div 023 families should be getting their letters this week too.

Got a letter!!!! Mine was also stamped the 18th and I'm in So. Georgia right above Florida line. Sounded so so, physically doing well, but was down. I am hoping as the next week or two will turn this around.

TO ALL FRIEND AND RELATIVES OF DIV 024....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...write your SR and motivate them!!! My son's letters sound like most in the division argue and do not follow directions. My son is worried about being held back and not participating in PIR. These SR's need to get motivated....be a team...work together to achieve greatness!! I can imagine being away from home and being put in the "bootcamp" environment can be rough and depressing...BUILD THEM UP!!! It sounded like morale was better after SR'S got to make phone calls on Saturday..keep it up. They will need to be a team for Battle Stations! Just want our SR'S to all make it to PIR and be proud of this great accomplishment! -
