I stand by my original statement. There may have been a different reason I clicked on it, but how I came across it is as stated.

Facebook Too Far
Gentlemen,
Facebook now has an application that tracks where you login in at. I have found this to be problematic with my young soldiers as they login frequently and it logs where they are at. I am sure Mr. Taliban loves to surf face book and see where soldiers are login in at in Afghanistan. One of my SGTs was able to take this login information and plot it on Google Earth and get an exact location where the person logs in at. Just for your SA.

My $.02 on Facebook
I have given thought of making a Facebook. I would of liked to make one to stay in the loop of things happening in my school and around my peers. It's aggravating not knowing what's going on simply because I don't have a Facebook to stay in the loop of things. Unfortunately being a highschool student, it is almost impossible to avoid all the drama that comes with a Facebook, one of the reasons I choose not to make one. In this day and age it seems to me a lot of relationships and friendships are started through a computer screen, instead of actual interaction. I guess some guys are to nervous to approach that pretty girl face to face, to scared to pick a fight with someone face to face, to lazy or lack real social skills to meet and get to know a person face to face and must share with the world about how drunk their going to be for the upcoming weekend. Seems like we need a Facebook for all these things. On a good note, Facebook can be good to stay in contact and find long lost friends and family members. Though in my view I see more cons instead of pros. All in all, I would just like to thank TS for starting this thread and discussion, as it is something every aspiring QP and Myspace, Twitter, Facebook ect. member should read. With that being said, I doubt I'll be making a Facebook anytime soon.

Welcome to the technological generation. The kids now a days were born into it and - for some - that is all they really know. Unfortunate IMO. 
Use technology wisely and cautiously.

Reading this thread just makes me glad I dropped social networking long ago. I was never a very social person anyway. On the plus side I've yet to find any "open" info on myself on the net yet. Hopefully I can keep it that way. Now, back to those push ups.

This question may be slightly off topic, but I feel it is still relevant enough to post here... Should I avoid telling co-workers/peers/fellow students that I am going SF? If you should avoid posting it on the internet, it seems like it stands to reason that you should avoid telling people in real life. I'm not talking about close friends, or family members, just acquaintances, and people you occasionally talk to...

Wow, how did I miss Intel Geek? That was entertaining, glad he found something to stick in his mouth for a while.

on facebook i found this link http://www.facebook.com/help/contact...delete_account to permantly delete your account. if you just use the deactivate account button your account will still be there forever. apparently this link will get rid of it forever. hope this helps and/or does what it says it will. but at this point most of the damage would already be done.

also with some more research i found out that reputation.com offers the service of removing all of your personal information from all of these websites. the great part is that they do it for free for active duty military using this link http://www.reputation.com/?code=officers2009
i called the customer service line and they emailed me that link. for badge number just type "us military"

This might be a stupid question......
But I don't know, we'll see.
So, having your face plastered all over facebook, and myspace, and twitter, and blah, blah, any number of countless social networking sites is a bad thing. I get that absolutely. But I don't understand how the whole t.v. thing works out. Years ago, I remember a show on the History channel about U.S.Army Special Forces, (it was great by the way!), and it had to do with the Robin Sage Excersise. Now I haven't been able to find that video in digital format or vcr, for that matter, and would love to have it, but the point is, I still remember what several of those guys look like. I am relatively sure I would recognize at least 1, 2 maybe even 3 of them in a line up. 2 for sure. Especially since I have found a few clips of that video showing at least one of those individuals. Now those guys can't all be retired, or well....dead, for lack of a better easier way to say it guys. SOrry. I figure that's probably a bad subject. But you understand my point. Then you have shows like Surviving the Cut....come on! Not all of those gentlemen I am sure wanted there faces on t.v., but I can't help but think maybe they didn't have much say in the matter. I don't know how that works. My point being, I can download surviving the cut, I can memorize a few faces if I so chose to do so. Not all of those guys will make it through the q, but if I have a computer, I could conceivably get there pictures and start putting them into the hands of my guys,( if I was a foreign intelligence officer...I would imagine), and just keep a look out for them or troll the internet. RIght? So those guys on these t.v. shows, are they purposefully screwed out of ever doing the more clandestine stuff? I mean, I am just one man, but millions watch those types of shows, and I would think that would give them more exposure. So I guess my question now that I have finally gotten it out is, "ARE THEY SCREWED? And was it purposefully done? OR are they just actors, portraying real people?" I mean I would think that would pose a greater threat to national security than who Donny was screwing last night at the freaking bar being posted on facebook. Also, what about these guys who's family members are bringing video camera's to the GB graduation, and then posting not only video of the guys graduation, but his full name!!!!???? NOW THAT TO ME!! IS just wTF??? ANd the National Geographic programs, and sixty minutes where oh yeah they are wearing sunglasses, right, a good imagination and you can pretty much yeah, who didn't know that batman was actuall bruce wayne in the sixties t.v. series right? Well, I mean this is kind of a serious question I think, because if you don't have a choice to be on one of these shows....then does it really matter? And if you do have a choice....what qp would volunteer for that knowing the danger involved? Wow, sorry guys this has lead me down a path of a lot of questions. Troubling ones for me. Thanks in advance, for everything so far, and for an answer if you choose to give me one. I am really confused on this part of the whole opsec stuff. It's not clicking to me how facebook vs. being plastered on t.v. would be any different. Why would the military allow it if it would limit some of there soldiers capacity to do there job? I know that the SF community is pretty small comparatively. The loss of a few good men, for a pr opportunity just doesn't quite.....well sit well, but it doesn't quite sound like something that would be done either. Help me understand guys. Please.
