Moron #3: a bn XO gets caught putting porn on SIPRNet. Not just “someone found it, and traced it back to where it came from”, but “got caught watching it and beating off in his office by his commander”. This was in Afghanistan, and he was relieved ( :haw: ) on the spot.

Just need to forward that ppt to 69420 ISR/All so the whole squadron gets their NIPR PCs and accounts locked down until everything is sterilized.

No, this didn't just happen, who would do that.

No, it's not the 4th time this year, you're crazy.

Two of my happier weeks in garrison were my shop lost our NIPR accounts/PCs after a deployed crew did something similar. The investigation was slow going since there was a nine-hour time zone difference between units. I'm told it would have gone on a few weeks longer if someone didn't find a clever way to pin it on an entirely different unit - apparently someone else burned similar information a few days prior without getting noticed, so at the time of our incident it was technically not a breach.

I had a Jewish neighbor who described WW2 as a "good time" because he loved killing Nazis. He also went AWOL to Switzerland and fought Swiss cops, escaped back over the Swiss border and banged a bunch of "red Cross girls" after the surrender before being demoted and shipped home.

He described WW2 as a good time because he drank booze, banged chicks and killed Nazis.

WHOA just had a flashback to college playing some F2P MMO (I couldn't afford WoW like my roommate :().

Another party member calls bullshit, making the master chief back down and admit he's just JROTC.

A few years ago my local med group's general incompetence caused them to retroactively label an acute injury-induced event a chronic MEB-able condition. After some months of dick-dance I got back on flying status and went on a chill deployment for a few weeks. At my next PHA they got all pissy about me flying til they realized a) they hosed up by letting me go with what they claimed was a grounding condition, and b) I was about to PCS and they could just sweep it under the rug. Which they did. I was kinda pissed it happened but didn't want to bring attention to it so :shrug:

That said, no loving way I’d let the Army have an app with those permissions on my phone, but not out of fear of a foreign intelligence service.

At least one of the guys has done a risk assessment of likely outcomes:

One soldier said he was often away from his wife, and they sent intimate photos to each other. He could not be sure if they would land onto a server monitored by his commanders.

“I don’t want someone else looking at my wife’s [breasts],” he said.

Did the Afghan paper trove ever get linked here? NYT articles on it are definitely worth reading, hopefully they make you go 'I feel less guilt knowing that I did my best and acted with honor when sent into an unwinnable situation' instead of 'WHAT THE gently caress DID I LOSE THREE SPOUSES AND TWELVE SQUAD MATES FOR THEN'.

At least they get human contact periodically. Years back at a station there was someone known as 'porn guy' because he had like five or six screens playing porn between two different computers. It wasn't a shock thing either, it was just...always on. Even when he wasn't there, because you could see it in the background when he opened his door to leave the room, or through the window when the curtains were open. Every once in a while he'd ask some rube for tech support on one device while porn was playing on the other one. He must have been paying for at least some of it because even if streaming sites existed, he wouldn't have had a high enough bandwidth or data cap to download it all in a time frame measured in anything other than years.

I don't recall anybody knowing his actual name.
