OPSEC REMINDER

Hey guys,


We've had quite a bit of OPSEC violation on the community recently. Just a reminder that you just can't post dates, times, travels, discuss particulars about weapons, locations, etc. here. There ARE people out there who join communities like this to gather information. Don't kid yourself.

Will it get someone killed? You don't know. The safest bet is just don't do it. If you're not sure if you should say it, err on the side of caution and just don't say it.


So here's a basic list of what not to say or do:

DON'T post specific dates your SO goes on deployment, leaves for R&R, redeploys, PCS's, or moves from one place to the next.

DON'T post specifics discussing weaponology, though that has not been an issue here, I'm just saying.

DON'T post where your husband is stationed if he is in a combat zone (i.e. what base he's at in Iraq or Afghanistan).

DON'T post the times your husband will be in transit from base to base in a combat zone, or travel times, period.

DO black out or otherwise blur nameplace, unit and branch patches if posting pictures.



Those are the main infarctions.



FROM HERE ON OUT I WILL DELETE WITHOUT WARNING ANY POST THAT VIOLATES OPSEC TERMS.

I'm tired of reminding people. Call me bitchy, I don't care. Read and follow the rules.



Thanks much!


If you have comments feel free to post them... if you have additional OPSEC violations you'd like to add to the list add them. I'll post this to the memories and link it in the community userinfo page, also.

It's always fun to figure out how to say something without saying it. Like Taylor trying to tell me when he possibly could be leaving by telling me (seemingly) unrelated dates ~_~

Thanks for posting this. When I first joined the community I read the info that was on the website concerning OPSEC that's in the Info, but I was so confused, so I found this really helpful.

Good Reminder. Thank you. May I say how much I love your OPSEC icon?

[info]riseabove

January 18 2008, 12:24:36 UTC 4 years ago

Yes, you may. :) I ganked the image off another military community here and made it into my new OPSC icon lol originally because of all the recent violations so I could use it when telling people to stop violating hahaha!

It's great! Good reminder with a little bit of humor to make it stick. As hard as it is to keep things to ourselves, it would be infinitely harder to deal with something happening because we shared too much information.
