I have recently educated myself on Operation Security. I felt that it was important to know what I should and should not post on my blog regarding my husbands military career. OPSEC is known as operation security , Operation Security is not only the soldiers job but the spouses and family members as well. OPSEC is simply being careful not to give away deployment details and military work and such. Those of you who are civilian blogger's already use PERSEC and that is know as guarding your personal information from people lurking on the Internet. The whole point to this post is we never know who is reading our comments on facebook, or our blog posts or even listening in on our conversation at the grocery store. You can read more about OPSEC and PERSEC if you click the OPSEC button on my sidebar.
Some military wives go as far as not giving out their names, spouses names, children's names and such so that they cannot be identified easily. I will be nicknaming my husband for his security and would please ask that no one use his name in any of the blog comments. He will be nicknamed "Bright Eyes" why "Bright Eyes" you ask? If you have ever seen Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes then you would know that he has the most amazing blue eyes in the movie and one of the Apes calls him "Bright Eyes". And if you know my husband you would know that his eyes are ethereally blue, hence "Bright Eyes". I will still be "Laura" and my dog will still be "Remy Dog" and when we have children they will get nicknames of some sort. Some of you may think I am a bit paranoid but understand that this is necessary for my husbands, and many other soldier's safety.
