"Poor Planning on Your Part Does Not Constitute an Emergency on My Part!"
I'm not too worried about it , I try to teach as many friends and family members as I can self about preparedness. Anyone that should be there will be
there, anyone that shouldn't will be dealt with accordingly.
I think survivalists in general worry too much about OPSEC, yet don't really understand what it is. I mean right now simply speaking about OPSEC ,
you're violating COMSEC... and that COMSEC violation is on an open forum , a forum that has info about you on its servers.
Do you watch your indicators? Where you buy your ammo? If you're buying bulk online , they have your address and info. If you're buying from your
local gun shop , they know who you are... where does it end?
Are you buying food in bulk?.... what kind of gear are you buying?... What are you driving?
All of these can be used to build a profile.
Have you run a risk assesment? Do you know what your threats are? Do you know your vulnerabilities?
Probably not...
Do you have countermeasures deployed? What sort of HUMINT & SIGINT are you using?
Do you know why you have none of these things?.... BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT RUNNING AN OPERATION!!!!
There's no OpFor!!! lol
You're a regular guy , like everyone else...
My Background is Military Intelligence , nothing High Speed Low Drag... just Basic Intel... and your average person that thinks they know about OPSEC
leaves a signature so big its laughable. Wives talk, kids talk , your ups driver or mail man sees what you're getting delivered , neighbors etc...
Look man, don't be paranoid , have a plan, live your life and relax. That's the purpose of planning, so you don't have to stress out about "What ifs"
. You are 1 person , you don't have the resources that an organazation has at your disposal , you can't plan or have a contingency for every possible
scenario. It's not realistic. Your plan should be reality based , drill it a few times to tighten it up and that's it.
