This may be true (neither of us really have the experience to say right?), but the original post addressed the fact that social media presence would lower your chance of being assigned to specific units and missions. That intuitively makes sense to me. If you're captured think of the extreme risk to your family, not to mention the leverage the captors have if they can identify you. As an aside, why do we feel the need to update social media in the middle of a time when our focus should be on the task at hand (training for SFAS/Q course)? I trust the QP's who have been there done that and gone back for more.
