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."

My spouse, my SR's step-dad, lived in San Diego area when he worked for Hughes Aircraft. There is a beach there called Swami's (?). When we went out a few years ago, that's where my SR and my other son learned to surf. There also is a great Mexican place called Fidells (?). THE best crab enchiladas EVER!
