Winchester Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 So let's do a fox news special on it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hispeed7721 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) I think Winchester is absolutely right. There's things all over the interwebz a la Wikipedia, etc but that doesn't make it smart to talk about in certain settings (BODN being one of them). That's not being overdramatic IMHO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited November 9, 2014 by hispeed7721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueypilot Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Just pointing out that if you look around, the AF will often tell you without having to have a discussion about it. That's not nearly in the same league as having a "fox news special on it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestik Møøse Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Even if open source information is available, one of us saying "yeah that's my jet" essentially confirms the info as valid. The bad guys employ plenty of people to mine and compile open-source data, at least make it hard for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hueypilot Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Even if open source information is available, one of us saying "yeah that's my jet" essentially confirms the info as valid. Except no one here actually did that. Google works fine instead of asking the question directly...which was my point. Even AF PA might tell you the answer.

Breckey Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 There are websites that tracked unsecured radio transmissions from Odyssey Dawn and ADS-B info on flight aware. OPSEC is getting much harder in the information age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busdriver Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 If you're using the same call-sign over and over on a non-secure net, well who's fault is that? It's funny, this exact discussion happened in Vietnam concerning Sandy and Jollygreen, the squadron commanders at the time felt that the enemy probably already knew they shot down an airplane and it was more important for the friendlies to know that the professionals had arrived and to clear the way. If you're that concerned with OPSEC, use rotating call-signs on un-secure nets, only use "your" call-sign when encrypted, or just just change everyone's call-sign every couple days. This argument reminds me about people getting butt hurt over burning TAD freqs, yet they'll label the radio with what they're using it for, either way you're giving the enemy info.

Azimuth Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 What, are you supposed to change your local training sorties callsigns monthly and used secure and Have Quick on every sortie? GMAFB How about we focus on the dipshits who compromise the Comm's daily in the AOR first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
