[QUOTE="mav_tu, post: 13153266, member: 36623"] Hmmm. I've made four posts in the last year. I may not post often, but I've been around a long while. I don't post things to jump people's case, just offer some guidance. Not sure how I "scream" OPSEC, and I know this is the kinder, gentler Army; but I don't know how I could have be nicer. I didn't call the guy any names. I simply advised him to be aware of OPSEC, hoping he would realize how it effects his (and his battle buddy's) safety. I understand this is a troop movement to basic training. Not exactly a national security issue. The point is that new people to the military need to be mindful of how specific the information is that they are sharing, and how it can effect mission readiness. In your example you said the Stars and Stripes would publish the month (April) of a deployment. Stars and Stripes would not say that a certain element would be deploying from location X, headed to location Y, and will be travelling on 5 Apr. With a little commonsense and/or research, the enemy could determine fairly reliably where our troops are departing from and arriving to when moving to BCT. Vague information is always safer, e.g., only disclosing the month of one's ship-out. The point is to train as you fight. Protect mission information - always. I'm sorry if it offends you by me making an on the spot correction that could potentially mold a soldier's future thoughts/behaviors/habits in a way that could save lives. I hope that in the future you will join me in making solders aware of the risks they are taking, even if they don't realize the gravity of their innocuous statements. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
