I know I’ve heard this time and time again being a Navy Wife – “Loose Lips Sink Ships” – it’s probably more important to remember now than ever before with so many people on the Internet. I don’t mean to scare you, but don’t you realize that the “Bad Guys” can find any information they want just by popping into MySpace, Facebook or Twitter and getting a nice close personal look at you, your family and your Active Duty loved one?

For example – say you are excited about your “honey” coming home from a deployment; you post a simple “Ticker” on your MySpace. Now – the entire world can see exactly when your “honey’s” plane or ship is coming in. Doesn’t that make them a target?

Another example – an Active Duty member is posting on his Twitter account about where he is currently deployed to and the fact that there are troops moving in and out. So, now everyone in the world knows that there was an “influx” of troops on a specific day to a specific place. Doesn’t that, again, make them a target?

Be MINDFUL of the things you put online. Just ASSUME that “they” are watching all of your posts, tickers and ‘Tweets’ looking for ammunition. Better to be safe than sorry I would think.
