OPSEC

You may know just what the title of this post means, especially if you live in the military world. Operational Security, OPSEC.  This is a very important topic, one that needs to always be kept in mind. 


Here are the ten rules of OPSEC, in basic terms:
  1. Don’t discuss current or future destinations/ ports of call/deployment bases.
  2. Don’t discuss current or future operations or missions.
  3. Don’t discuss current or future dates and times of exercises or missions. 
  4. Don’t discuss readiness issues and numbers. 
  5. Don’t discuss specific training equipment. 
  6. Don’t discuss people’s names and operations. 
  7. Don’t speculate about current or future operations. 
  8. Don’t spread rumors about current, future, or past operations or movements. 
  9. Don’t assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you; he/she is. 
  10. Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC when using email, phone, chat rooms and message boards.
Anyways.  Just thought I'd bring this to your attention.  As much as I love talking about Tyler's career and our fun life together, I value his safety more than anything.  Thanks for keeping your lips sealed as well!
