Opsec violation much?

Some people are just attention whores. They post crap even when they know they aren't supposed to because they want people to feel sorry for them and comment.

This happened a TON with our last deployment. Even some of the deployed guys did it, countdowns and everything! I was SO pissed. They got in trouble and then got butt hurt cause they got called out.

A couple of the newer wives did it too, and I realized they didn't know better, so I kindly explained and asked them to take it down, which they did. One wife, FAR from new, this is her H's 2nd deployment, posted this gem "(H) leaves **** in 3 days! He will get to travel through *** and *** and see the bases there, then will be home on ***" I WAS FUMING. I flat out told her that if my husband is either put in danger or delayed coming home because of her or anyone else's dumb ass, I would PERSONALLY kick them in the face after beating their heads against the wall if they still didn't get it

May have been a little rash on my part, but DAM, they just had a HUGE OPSEC briefing here on base for all the spouses in direct reference to homecomings. I even made a point to get up here early enough to attend, and I saw her there, so she has NO excuse!

Nightmare-I don't blame you one bit for flipping your lid esp. when it could put your H in danger.

I thought he was a kind of smart guy until I saw that. I really hope the people he has tagged in the post are not deployed with him.

H's battalion commander and his wife were both known to post to-the-day countdowns. It made me want to scream.
