Ep. 35: Your Extra Dose of OPSEC

Welcome to the New Year. With the recent happenings we decided to give you all a little extra dose of OPSEC. News articles, chatter from your significant other and just the unknown can all be really scary and we want to share our fear with people who care and understand. But that also means a higher risk or sensitive information getting out. Please always be careful what you say especially on social media and if you need any extra understanding of OPSEC you can always Google OPSEC 101. Sorry for the small technical error around minute 11 but Veronica made a really great point. What wasn't fully heard was her explaining in a way that the President is a pilot and we're all on the same plane and we all just want to see him succeed and land our plane safely. We hope you all are getting a nice fresh start to the New Year and thank you for your continued support.

Ep. 34: Dependa say...OPSEC!

OPSEC! You've heard us use the phrase before, but what does it mean and how did it first come about? Listen in as we give you a better understanding of OPSEC to keep you and your family safe. We hope you have a wonderful and merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or any of the holidays you celebrate!
