I just can't get enough of being called and IDIOT. WTF. No an idiot with a security clearance would post where he works, what he does, list all of his personal info and keep the profile wide open. Hopefully very few people do that but I've seen it done before. If it weren't for Facebook I wouldn't have much interaction with family or friends and it helps to keep me somewhat sane. Keep it locked down and limit your personal info since no one needs to know what you do for a living nor do they need to know you location overseas or stateside. I put down Baghdad but that doesn't mean I live there, it just means I'm in Iraq.
Let me restate my comment; maybe "idiot" was too strong a word, and I only used it in the context of Facebook, outside of that the person could be the greatest that ever lived and not even close to being an idiot. "if you have a security clearance, I cannot for the life of me why you would have an active Facebook account".
I'm going to have to disagree there Thunder; When you sign that little piece of paper that states, and I am paraphrasing here "We will look at whatever we want on you", then all those so called "friends" now become links to flags. Will it prevent you from obtaining or renewing, maybe not, but you WILL have some splaining to do. As the level goes up, you'll have even more splaining to do.
Now this is the part that blows my mind; I have active duty friends, deployed, with Facebook accounts! What if you were to get captured?
I'm not trying to talk anyone out of it, except listed above, just saying, I only have so many minutes left in my life...I want to spend them riding and seeing the friends that I have kept in touch with all my life, not because they popped up on some computer screen.
Facebook is GREAT for my business, as more people spend time in front of computers, ipads, and smartphones, less are entering into the service field I am in; more business for me as well as more money (higher fees), supply and demand.
I'll end with something funny that happened last week. I had some early 20 somethings installing some wood floors and one of them noticed there were no locks on the doors, he asked me "aren't you worried someone will steal all this chit?" I said "not really, it could happen but probably not". I said "let me ask you a question" "how many of your friends that are not in the field you arew would know what a compound miter saw looked like, much less turn it on?" he laughed and said, "yeah, you're right, they all have their head buried in their smartphone most of the time".
