Not going to talk politics…

September 11th, 2008

…but if you are a political figure… shouldn’t you have a freaking clue about OPSEC???

Can this information hurt me?
Can this information hurt others?
Can this information destroy property?

If yes… SHUT UP!

’nuff said.

Oh, lovely, someone blabbed. I’ve had OPSEC drilled into my head, DH would personally ream me out if I let someone know something they shouldn’t.

Oh yes, me too. I hated OPSEC when he was in Iraq. I never knew where he was, how he was doing, when he would be home, and if he was safe. However, now when I see people breech OPSEC, it REALLY makes me mad! It was a guy in his unit that told his wife their return date that kept his unit in Iraq two weeks.

Thanks for the comment, Heather. My bed is very warm and cozy. I just wish I could lounge there longer than I do. LOL

I’ll have to google OPSEC b/c I have no clue what you’re talking about here.

OPSEC is all about keeping our troop movements & military secrets just that… a secret. It’s the reason why military wives are not allowed to say “Woohoo, my husband comes home from Iraq in 2 days at 12:23pm on flight 47 from Germany to Boston!! W00t!” If a terrorist is watching, they know if they blow up that plane, they will get soldiers too. I did not even know when my husband was going to be back from Iraq until 2 hours before he set foot on Colorado Soil… he was already in the US.

Cast of Characters

Me: Heather, thirty-something mama to five wild kiddos. With such a broad age range, I can easily be nursing a baby while helping with Algebra homework. If I ever get spare time, I enjoy technology, knitting, reading, and just hanging out with my kiddos.

Bobby, my best friend and partner in crime for all of my adult life. Ex soldier, turned computer geek, he's traveled the world and then some. Truly an awesome husband, and dad, even when he is almost 7,000 miles away.

Austin - 15. My witty comedian, he can always make us laugh with his great sense of humor. Austin is responsible, hard working, a dedicated friend, and sympathetic to the plight of others.

Christopher - 13. My professor, he always has a fact ready for any situation. Christopher loves math and science and is especially interested in the weather. Christopher loves to get lost between the pages of a good book.

Matthew - 6. My silly little jester. Matthew can make anyone laugh with the hilarious things he says and does. We are easily amused with his "Matthewisms", even as a baby his timing was impeccable.

Sophia - 3. The princess. With 4 brothers, it is easy to see why Sophie is such a diva, but behind all her drama, she is genuinely the sweetest kid I know. She is quick with a hug or an "I love you" and touches everyone she meets with kind words and a smile that lights up a room.

Liam, born 12/28/10. The n00b. Our 5th and final. Lovingly nicknamed "Mr. Grabbyhands", and about 300 other nicknames. Liam is easy going, laid back, cuddly, and sweet.
