Q: I am not in the military. What is OPSEC in terms I can understand?

A: Very simply it is the following...
OPSEC (Operational Security) in Civilian Terms

OPSEC (Operational Security) has strict rules, the following is the basic gist of them: The Ten OPSEC Points:

1. Don’t discuss current or future destinations or ports of call.
2. Don’t discuss current or future operations or missions.
3. Don’t discuss current or future dates and times of when Marines will be in port or conducting exercises.
4. Don’t discuss readiness issues and numbers.
5. Don’t discuss specific training equipment.
6. Don’t discuss people’s names and billets in conjunction with operations.
7. Don’t speculate about current or future operations.
8. Don’t spread rumors about current, future, or past operations or movements.
9. Don’t assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you; he is.
10. Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC when using email, phone, chat rooms and message boards.
