This guy was a naval officer and is near the ocean. Having been in the navy myself i would bet he has got himself a boat and headed out to sea. He was awarded the sea service ribbon and probably has navigation and sea handling knowledge as an officer he would have had to stood as officer of the deck underway so he would know his beans. like i said my bet is he's on a boat already at sea or looking to get his hands on one. So he's out in the ocean or even maybe headed to the great lakes. The navy should be looking out for him as well as the coast guard.
