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."

Jae, Yes we will pray for your husband to give him the confidence and the strength to pass his test.
I hope and pray every day not only for my son but all our servicemen & women that serve our country.
When I write my son I am always upbeat and encrouaging. He noticed that in all my letters and asked me to keep writing my encouraging letters. He said its really helping him get through every passing day and soon he will graduate.
Just hang in there and don't worry to much. Gail -

thank you Mom2sailors, I would be looking and wondering what I am missing out on knowing. Yes I remember the password off the letter and I keep checking the websites for when they make the passes available. That I know as well about the phone call but even though I get my own, I still tell myself 'no news is good' cuz I tell you my heart stops for a brief moment till he says on the call ' hey mom all is good'...no kidding i am so excited I can't wait.
