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 241 and 242 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 241 and 242
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!!!

I was just so mad at myself last night, had that phone on me all week... he called back twice, glad he left me a message at least so I can hear his voice. He's in 241. I too hope he does call next weekend :)

My son is in 241 also. I was lucky to get a few calls because he needed some information for his security clearance - but no letters yet!

Father, in the coming days I will need You, but my recruit will need You more. Let him perform his tasks with a sense of duty, not of anger or vengeance. Let his reflexes be quick and his hands steady. Let his head be clear and his eyes sharp. Let his mind and body be strong and his spirit stronger. Christ, please stand by my recruit and watch his back when he cannot. Father, I love this recruit of mine! Take from ME, what he needs and give me what he does not. I will pace the nights, if it means he gets some sleep. I will deal with fatigue, if it means he will have energy. I will carry his fear if it means it gives him courage. I will take his pain, if it means he is healthy and whole. I will take his anger, if it means he is at peace. Take from me my love and pride and let him feel it! Let him know that I am with him every step of the way. Please, take from me what You can; I give it willingly and with love. It is all I have besides my prayers. Above all, please help my recruit achieve his goal of becoming a United States Sailor. This I ask on bended knee, that which I cannot do without You. AMEN

Amen! I feel the same. My son is my youngest child and I want this time to go well for him. I know it is all the more difficult being that he is a family oriented positive person who is being taken down and built back up to be a part of a team. God bless them all. :-)

I hope your Fourth of July has been a great celebration. It sure takes on a new meaning when I think of our SRs! After a day of parades, patriotic music, picnics, and fireworks, I'm so full of love for my SR and my country!

I am so excited I can't stand it!!! I don't know why this feels more exciting than when my daughter graduated from college. Anyway, my son is in 242. Do you know if they've gone through battle station yet? Has your sailor told you any details about the 17th, like after they have graduated?
