About SOC
Veteran-Owned. Mission-Driven. Built for the Long Haul.
Signage Operations Command LLC is a veteran-owned commercial signage business headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina. Founded and solely owned by Justin Myers — also known as The Pirate Hunter — SOC brings disciplined coordination, deep supplier relationships, and a service-first commitment to every project we take on.
Justin's roots in the sign industry predate SOC. His earlier work through Signs By Veterans earned recognition as one of the Three Best Rated sign companies in Charleston, SC — a historical distinction that reflects the standard of service SOC continues to carry forward today.
SOC was built to serve both national programs and individual businesses with flexible fulfillment: full-service coordination, make-and-ship production, trade installation, emergency sign services, and ongoing maintenance programs. We plan each mission around the customer's actual requirements — not a one-size-fits-all model.
Our promise is simple: listen carefully, scope accurately, communicate clearly, and build the right team and fulfillment approach for the mission.
