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."

CeeCee... my son's good friend finally passed the 1st class exam on his SIXTH try! Passing has alot to do with the quality of his command, the variety of experience he's participated in, and the intensity of his on-board training. Like Pat said, remain upbeat, tell him you know he'll get it eventually, and ask him what he thinks he'll need to know next time. Don't let him get discouraged! Hugs, k.

Encourage him! This round only had about 20% promotion rate. In some rates there were not many that made it. Encourage him to begin his study now for the next round of tests.
