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."

Hang in there Donna and keep encouraging him. They want him to pass too and will do what they can to help him. He has to believe in himself!
This is just a minor setback ~ praying for wings on his feet!

Encourage him to not give up. Even though it's not an easy task to continue when you feel defeated, we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. I pray that it will all work out for your Recruit.
