I didn’t start this site as an expert trying to lecture anyone.
I started it because I was confused, curious, and tired of vague answers.
When I first ran into OPSEC training, I did what most people do—I searched for explanations, examples, and shortcuts that actually made sense. What I found was a mix of overly sanitized slides, generic definitions, and advice that didn’t translate well to real situations.
So I decided to test things myself.
This site documents my first-hand experiences working through OPSEC concepts, training modules, and frameworks like the 5-Step Process. I write about what helped, what didn’t, and where the friction showed up in real life—not in theory.
You’ll find:
- Plain-language explanations
- Practical takeaways
- Honest wins and honest snags
- No answer dumps, no classified material, no nonsense
The goal isn’t to replace official training.
It’s to help you understand it better and approach it with clarity and confidence.
