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."

That's awesome! Tell him to enjoy his down time and take advantage of all that Charleston has to offer. My son started EM class a couple of weeks ago and says the study schedule is crazy. I'll keep him in my prayers. Congrats:)
