Loose Lips Sink Ships

I know, I know. As military Significant Others we hear this alllll the time, "Don't say ____." "You can't say that!" "You just risked your husband's life." Those who talk about OPSEC, are picky about what they say and post, and ask others to delete posts, aren't being rude. They are trying to protect Jane's husband, Ashley's fiancée, and Sue's boyfriend. So please, make sure all our men come home safe. Follow the OPSEC rules. Remember, if you're not sure about whether something can be said (or posted), it's better to say nothing.

A reminder for those that need it (and those that don't think they do): 
  • Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
  • Don't discuss future operations / Exercises or missions!
  • Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
  • Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
  • Don't discuss specific training equipment or lack thereof!
  • Don't discuss people's names and billets, Regiments in conjunction with operations!
  • Don't speculate about future operations!
  • Don't spread rumors about operations!
  • Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information!
  • Don't discuss Security Procedures, movements, or arms.
  • BE AWARE!
  • Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC when using email or phone!
  •  Be sure that you realize that information can be put together. If you leak a bit here and a bit there, it doesn't take much to put it together for the whole pcture- and there are those out there with nothing but that goal in mind.
