If you're in the military ... Get off Facebook!
Holy Cow. Everyone should know this by now.

I wish I could talk about my work and my work history. I have done and continue to do things of interest here. I cannot, it's all too identifiable. I say that because I know my employer uses a security service that monitors social media. You can be sure that with GB Forums being indexed by Google, they watch for any negative references to their company.
That's my "Risk Management" in the private sector. Can't be any lower risk in the military.

Military leadership "strongly encouraged" its member to avoid social media, especially Facebook over 10 years ago. It should be no secret FB has destroyed a number of promising careers.
Despite what some people think of Snowden, he nailed FB to the letter. As long as users understand FB should be considered a government website and everything they post is saved and monitored, it is OK.

Hearing on the news that ISIS has put 100 names, addresses and photos of American military personnel on a website. Urging their followers to kill them at home. ISIS claims they hacked into American military data bases. But it looks like all the info comes from open sources on the internet.
Such as social media and news postings.
But I have 2 words for any IS ch*t bags reading this: Bring it!
This means that at the very least what you say here can be found by employers. Small businesses may not bother, or only take notice accidentally or if someone rats you out.
Quite a few large employers contract out monitoring of Social Media by security companies. Or they have their own internal security people doing it. They may deny it publicly, but I've sat in meetings of several companies (non-defense related) where this was discussed. Including the results and the level of concern those results raised.

Combine that with any of the directory services and they're pretty easy to find.
Anyone in the military in the 1960's only need to look at the written orders they received for transfer, etc.
It listed people by name, unit, rank and SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.
Some of those orders were produced in hundreds of copies, one to each person listed in the orders plus hundreds for all the units people assigned from/to.
I kept every written military order I ever recieved and have many, many peoples name and social security numbers....freely provided by the U.S. Government. And those same people have mine.

This continued through the 90s. We also used to get our social printed on our checks to save time at checkouts. Wouldnt think of doing nowadays!
Thanks Uncle Sam for being a simpleton with "The Peoples" Data!
