OPSEC (Operations security) - a process that identifies critical information to determine if friendly actions can be observed by adversary intelligence systems, determines if information obtained by adversaries could be interpreted to be useful to them, and then executes selected measures that eliminate or reduce adversary exploitation of friendly critical information. Unlike security programs that seek to protect classified information, OPSEC measures identify, control, and protect generally unclassified evidence that is associated with sensitive operations and activities.

In civillian terms, its the process of limiting the distribution of potentially sensitive information. The number one concern of the army is information such as movement dates, times and locations. Most of the time, this information is accidentally leaked out without the person realizing it.

I bring this up because some information that I gave to people individually made it to the internet and could be found rather easily via Google. I contacted the source of the information and it was taken down later that day so all is good. My point is not to put down the person that posted such information, but rather remind everyone of my readers that this stuff is real.

So what guidelines should you use? Simply, if you don't see it on this blog, then it shouldn't be online. There are things I can tell friends and family using other sources, but it can't be posted on a public site.

So, now that that's out of the way...

Life's still good. Keeping busy. I don't really have much to say at the moment cause it's late and I'm tired. So, laters!
