Watch your OPSEC/COMSEC

This is an annual Com exercise but the timing sure stinks considering GPS on E coast is down, massive naval exercises going on etc.

never hurts to be paranoid. One of these days....

I still think this needs to be heeded. Interesting that the hedder is removed Naturall because the originator did not want to get caught sending this out. Also pertinent info would be there as to classification. Funny most of the past exercises involved natural disasters. Hummm
I'm locked and loaded at all times.

The originator didn't want to get caught because it's probably a security violation to do so?
