ChristianMilitaryWives

Yeah, yeah - everyone loves rules. Bare with us, we must have rules in place to protect our members - please understand. :)

This website is for United States military wives. You MUST be married to a military member to join this message board. Christian Military Wives is not associated with the DOD, nor do we represent the DOD in any way.


Do not violate OPSEC:

Operational Security or "OPSEC" is the most important threat to the safety of your service member. OPSEC requires the active participation of every service member regardless of his or her rank or job and their spouses and family members. What seems innocent can in fact be a piece of a much larger puzzle. The bottom line is failure to obey OPSEC rules and guidelines put our people at risk; don’t let them say they heard it from a military wife! Lets keep these puzzle pieces apart!

Any post that violates ANY of the OPSEC rules will be edited or deleted depending on the extent of the information. This is not a violation of your 5th amendment. Remember what may not seem like a big deal to you may be a big deal to someone else. This includes phrases such as: “Steve will be home the day after my grandmas birthday". If you are questioning your post, don't post it!

While posting your last name, is not against OPSEC, remember this is a public website and we do not encourage you to post personal information about yourself. Your soldier does have his name on his uniform, so if you have photos of your soldier in uniform - you may want to consider blacking out his/her name.

Posting tickers that contain information on when your husband will return from a deployment is a violation of OPSEC. You will not want to post a ticker that says when he left home, if you post in another thread about him only having a 15 month deployment - it is easy to figure out the month the unit is due home.

Users are not permitted to post negative, slanderous, abusive, hateful, harassing, inaccurate, sexual, vulgar, obscene, profane, racial, threatening, bad-language, copyrighted, any other violations of the law or any material that is knowingly false and/or defamatory about any person or entity including Christian Military Wives.
