Operations Security (OPSEC) Information Sheet
As of 30 Mar 2015
Soldiers, Civilians and Family Members are encouraged to exercise care when posting information on social
media sites. Information which may identify home addresses, travel plans, and bank/credit card account
numbers should not be posted on these sites. Leaders are encouraged to promote OPSEC across the
Greater Fort Hood community to protect Soldiers, Civilians and Family Members. A few OPSEC tips are
listed below:
 Always protect your devices (phones, laptops, tablets) with a pin / password. Change passwords
biannually using the AKO method and download virus protection. There’s an app for that!
 Download and use the Facebook Security Settings Guide at https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebooksecurity/ownyourspace-a-guide-to-facebook-security/10150261846610766
 If you shop / bank from your phone, always use that company’s app, not the web browser. Read app
permissions before you download (some apps want to imbed geotags).
 Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use. Machines running on Wi-Fi can be hacked (this includes
game consoles and televisions).
 Avoid playing games on Facebook and ensure game apps are from trusted U.S. companies (games/apps
can be used to hack stored information such as bank account or geotags).
 Avoid using stickers that show military affiliations (remove ERB / ORB off windows) and using stick figure
decals on windshields, especially those with a parent in uniform.
 Do not throw away personally identifiable information (PII) or material marked For Official Use Only.
These items should also be encrypted when emailing. Opt out of pre-approved credit cards offers that
may be intercepted by nefarious characters by calling
1-888-5-OPTOUT. Do not throw these away!
 Avoid phishing attempts. Do not open emails from people you do not know. Watch for misspelling or
grammar errors in emails. Do not click on suspicious links or provide PII (social security numbers,
birthdates) to companies requesting information through email. Banks and credit card companies do not
ask for PII over email.
 Remember if you see something...say something. Report all suspicious activity on
Fort Hood to (254) 288-COPS or 911

Army Emergency Relief (AER)
Did You Know…
…The Army’s Annual AER Campaign, conducted each Spring remains distinct from the
Combined Federal Campaign for an important reason? The Combined Federal Campaign
charges all organizations under its campaign umbrella an administrative fee of more than 10% of
their total collection. Other reasons: The two-fold purpose of not only collecting funds for AER,
but also educating Soldiers and Families on the assistance that AER can provide. The strong
selling point that the Army takes care of its own.
… Living beyond your means is a prescription for disaster?
Does more than 25% of your take-home pay go to paying bills? Are you making only minimum
payments on bills due? Are you taking out new loans to pay off old ones? Are you missing
payments? Are you stalling one creditor to pay another? Are you having frequent family
arguments over money? Do you really need that new TV, fancy watch or extra cup of fancy
coffee? Financial counseling is available through your local ACS office.
… Army Emergency Relief has its own APP for smart phones? The APP contains
information about AER assistance and scholarships, as well as explaining the assistance
process…and where to go to get assistance. The APP is available for both iPhones and Android
phones.

Parent Participation Program
 Parent participation is highly encouraged in all CYSS programs, as Families are an integral part of CYSS success
and a key component in overall program quality
 The goal of the new, Army-wide CYSS Parent Participation Program is to ensure consistency across all CYSS by:
cataloging meaningful participation opportunities, standardizing the point system based on participation
opportunities, standardizing the points required for fee reductions and standardizing the process to apply fee
reduction to monthly payments
 The established common criteria should ensure that Families understand that their participation is valued and
needed and truly contributes enhancing the sense of community
 Parents may earn a fee reduction for volunteering a minimum of 10 hours generally in their child’s program or on
behalf of CYSS
 Participation Points may be accumulated from month to month until the Parent earns 10 points, to receive a 10%
reduction on one month’s fee for one child


If a parent has earned 20 points, then the 10% fee reduction may be applied for one child over a 2-month period
or used for two separate children during the same month
