OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

I THINK the plan is to relocate the A school for Corpsman to San Diego or somewhere in TX...that I'm not sure about. There is a group for Corpsman...they can most likely tell you.
