Operation Security and why it matters

I've been with my husband for a long time now. I just wanted to put this out there. I will in no way compromise Operation Security (OPSEC).  I was taught this very early on and have always kept it close to heart.

So why is OPSEC important?

Maintaining OPSEC means that our military friends and loved ones will be safe when they are conducting affairs both at home and abroad. Some people believe that things that go on stateside isn't important and therefore it doesn't matter if they are discussed. This couldn't be further from the truth. Operation Security means being mindful of what you post, where you post it, and the audience listening, reading, or watching.

You might think some of the things you post online are secure because they're in a restricted area where only people you allow in can see them. Nope. Hackers are taught to hack into people's blogs, Facebook pages, e-mails, and more.

If you're military or know someone in the military, just be mindful of what you say and where you say it!

Thank you. That is all. :)
