Hi, Bridget!

I'm an Air Force wife :)

Before I blog about mil life I want to make sure I'm up to date with OPSEC.

If you have any advice about that, I would so appreciate :)

Just remember to never list information about troop movements (such as dates, times, locations). If I am talking about an upcoming deployment I always refer to it as later this year, or this coming year or next year. Typically (at least with the Army) they can't keep their own mouths closed and will release to the media when they are deploying and to where, so once it has been released to the public, I may refer to the "<inster month> deployment to Iraq" (or the main country is that they are going, assuming that info was released).

Hope that helps =)

Yes, that does help :)

We have one coming up in next year, so I'll probably write about the pre, during, and post, but then actually post about them once he is home.

That is a great idea. I did a Deployment Blog (created a category on my site) for this last deployment and made posts like that within that category. Except at the very last minute, they decided not to take his troop lol. So all I have in it is pre-deployment posts lmao! I wish I would have thought about doing that the prior 7 deployments!

Ha, yep. Nothing if for sure until it's sure.

Thanks for the tips. :)
