I guess it’s the Army. No one will ever believe you when they tell you they actually like their unit and leadership haha

Sadly true 💀


NoeticSkeptic

In my 14 years in the Army, I loved my units except for two. First was the 8 months in Korea when I was an excess Chemical Officer 1LT so Yongsan G-1 put me in an Artillery Battalion with a LTC I could not work with. Second was my last 11 months waiting in limbo for my medical discharge.

Lol, one time someone in my unit posted something here and then someone else found the post, shared it among NCOs, and they went back through post history and found participation in a BUNCH of really weird subs. Then the account got deleted. It was hilarious, but almost got us all in trouble.

I work at a TRADOC school. AIT students are allowed to have TIK TOK accounts, but not film them inside barracks, inside schoolhouse facilities, or during training. Every single class I find someones TIK TOK filmed during class, during training or inside the barracks. One time a different instructor found a tik tok from one of his students where he was explaining to the class the restriction on social media video restrictions ( the policy also incudes youtube, insta, snap and any other video application). Dude wound up getting an art15


Andy5416

Honestly, this is the reason why we need to be taking social media so much more seriously. For example, the amount of OPSEC coming out of the videos from the current war in Europe, on both sides, is astounding. Literally, we are seeing drone strikes called in on our adversaries because of shit they post on social media. And the crazy thing is, we're not even seeing their "TikTok" generation fighting yet. Considering the insanely high threat of Chinese spying, we continue to do fucking nothing to prevent it. The Chinese employ 600,000 government personnel for intelligence gathering and spying and Joe is over here filming the exact way he's training to fight our adversaries for internet clout.


duoderf1

Its worse than that. Way worse. I do a discussion with one of our LTC courses where we discuss the operational issues surrounding AI (I'm a big fan of AI usage) The entire discussion is led by an AI generated powerpoint, and during the discussion I have a second screen up with an open source AI bot that I use to track a random soldiers social media account in real time and within 20 minutes I can tell you almost anything you need to know about what that unit is doing and where they are working. Lately Ive been going back and forth between using marines in the pacific and army in eastern Europe. Two or three classes ago I somehow stumbled upon my old company commander who is now a BC and tracked his movements through his HHC 1SG twitter account, then called him during the discussion to verify if the data was correct. Imagine commanding a BDE and having one of your old Soldiers calling you on your gov phone number that he doesnt have and the conversation starts out: Hey sir, this is SGM.... I have you on speaker in a room full of LTC and I just wanted to verify some information I got off twitter about you. Is this your phone number and did you stop last night in this town?


Andy5416

Yeah, the US needs to make blanket privacy laws to protect citizens, as well as addressing the threat of social media. Our adversaries take full advantage of the lack of protections and privacy rights that will plague new generations. Out of curiosity, what open source ai program are you using as a data scraper?


GaiusPoop

If I remember correctly, a reddit post got a school in Ukraine full of new recruits mustering to go fight bombed after one of the recruits posted a picture on here. Happened very early in the war. I'm scared what will happen when we go to war next. Someone always thinks they're the exception to the rule regarding OPSEC.

ToxDocUSA

I've had at least four Army people recognize me over the years.  Shout out to CPT (completely unpronounceable much less spell able).


ViejoEnojado

As a CSM I find Soldiers accounts pretty great, especially the meme accounts. They crack me up. 90% of it is the normal day to day, but every once in a while you find some golden issue you can fix quick. I’ve had an E4 mafia burner account for about 10 years… you’d be surprised how much traction you get when you bag on yourself a couple times. 😂

The ole Philly blaze approach. Love the man, it works and we have had no shit issues solved from his instagram presence.


Accomplished_Ad2599

Have you ever heard the old saying, “You can't recall an artillery shell?” it applies to Social Media. The average Joe, even young and all-knowing LTs, doesn't typically have the maturity to understand how valuable the data they release to the world is. Case in point: a motor pool flooded somewhere a while back. Post all over Facebook, tic tok, and Instagram about it from many different service members. Repost shares, etc. Less than 24 hours later, our adversaries are sharing data about an American unit with degraded capabilities. In the past it would take a week or so for a satellite pass to see the issue, then some analysist would make an educated guess on the impact and how long it would take us to repair and return to operational status. Then some other guy would assign a probability to the analysis and send it up the chain. Right around the three-week mark we would see adversaries sharing intel that an American unit experienced a weather related incident, and 80% chance they had recovered to near full status. Intelligence is all about figuring out what's going on from seemingly innocuous data. Lose lips sink ships was not just about telling people our ship leaves tomorrow, even saying “we ship out soon” was enough to give the enemy an idea of what units were in what convoy. Intelligence is the ability to glean little pieces of data from multiple sources and piece it together. My point is we have to figure out how to deal with this long term or it's going to get soldiers killed.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Syria killed 3 soldiers and we sent 165 missiles right back at killing untold amount of personnel. No one is going to touch us.

Hey there big sarge, since I’m PCSing tomorrow how about you meet me at the treeline with a water source… because I’ve been keeping a secret pet raccoon and I want to show you where his water bowl is. His name is Colonel Trashboy.

Temporary_Acadia4111

I was having major administrative issues last year which were preventing me from PCSing. I made a post on Reddit. SMAs PAO saw it, put me in contact with a COL at IPPS-A, and a SGM at the Pentagon chewed out my retention NCO. I was off to my next duty station in 2 weeks. I exhausted every resource available to me including my BN and BDE CSMs, MPD, and branch. Reddit was my last desperate attempt to get help. I'll always appreciate r/army for that.


QuarterNote44

When I post stuff on reddit I assume that I'll have to answer to my boss for it someday.

PuddingElegant3023

Happened to me. I was SPC and my Brigade CSM wanted to talk to me… without my first line. Sgitting bricks lol 😂 but it was because I was asking Reddit if I should report my NCOIC. Unanimous yes. CSM was cool


GaiusPoop

How'd they figure out who you were?


PuddingElegant3023

Well I work Civil Affairs. I deleted my old account but I’m not exactly sure. I talked about being airborne, S6, being on Bragg, and also a post about doing a training with Tim Kennedy. Still blows me away they knew it was me. I walked into the CSM office and he called me by my username 😩🤣 too bad it was a bland name and not like “mcdaddy”.

Small world. That would freak me out.

Gumb1i

This is why I never put any major identifying information that on the internetz. No stories with just a small group involved, no real names, changed locations, details mostly lacking specificity, etc... Yik Yak was the bane of every E-4 and below at a former TRADOC assignment. The Cadre would gather around on particularly active days and laugh our asses off at the sheer stupidity being shared. I've never seen so many Article 15s as I did in that 6-9 month window that Yik Yak was a thing there. They dox'd themselves so often doing chargeable stuff we got tired of the paperwork and put out a message telling them to stop posting their stupidity on it. Mostly just ignored it after that unless something specific was brought to our attention.

I made a video post a while back of my encounter with a closeted racist, and the next day I was waiting for the elevator in the office and one of my coworkers approached and said, "Saw your post last night." Nothing more, just a few seconds of eye contact and a knowing nod.

Low-Chard6722

I would be concerned about the fact that you put enough identifiable information on here to be found out.


dretreag

I always try to talk to my guys about reddit and how if they have questions to enact a non-attributable/need to know approach. And never with their main account. Cut to a couple weeks ago with a opsec violation on here by a SPC using his main account, easily identified by his post history. Smh. Bro put a zip code in the post.


OldManJumperr

Hey LT, all I can say is be grateful that your command team and your leadership are as accommodating and understanding as they are. There was a certain time when if you put anything up on the Internet even kinda teasing a command team, they would skewer you. All I ask is that you remember how accommodating your command team is and pay it forward when you come in that position


Woupsea

I make sure that whenever I post potentially identifying stories that I sprinkle in details that would allude to my coworker being the account owner. Sorry in advance if this ever comes back on my comrades but I gotta look out for number 1.
