This is so not surprising to me. I can’t tell you how many opsec briefs I’ve sat through pre-deployment and then had squadron members (from FNG to leadership) posting the exact stuff we were just told to not post. The most egregious was a Major posting a picture of the globe with every place (ICAO ID’s) our community had been throughout the world over the last year and talking about how busy they’d been. 

The Commies don’t even have to try anymore. We’ll just give them the info eventually.

I saw that on my FB feed.  WTF!  

I can see some of this... But do we really think no one knows where Dhafra, Al Udeid, or Ali Al Salem are? Do we think the Taliban is still in the dark about the location of Bagram or Kandahar?

i don’t think those places are the issue. it’s all the outposts and unacknowledged locations in the middle of sudan, syria, and elsewhere that are lit up

I'd like to think one of those lines is me running to the bathroom with pants full of salmonella shits, you can almost see the little brighter red spot on Disney. Good times.

At least the Duffelblog is providing some comic relief on this issue...

But seriously, how fucking stupid do you have to be to upload running paths at a sensitive/secret location?!?
