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."

Awesome, maybe they will class up together when they get there. We are from Ohio, and I know he is looking forward to some nice weather..lol. Btw, if your son donated his things then you may not get a box. My son just shipped back his phone and a Tshirt to wrap it in. He said he was going to donate the rest. (This is dad)
