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."

So ladies, I need to know how this all works. How far ahead of time will we know when the ship is pulling into Norfolk? We are still in WI till June but I'd love to be in Norfolk for the ships return. Will I know far enough in advance to get off work (schedule is up at least two months in advance)?
