Well, at least in my unit it was, but a lot of times, pics could give away key intel if they were shared out to family and friends back home and there was the possibility it would end up on social media, found, and used for nefarious reasons.
So, taking pics was frowned upon in most instances.

I'll echo that. I was out before pictures on phones was a common thing, but generally speaking, "personal" pictures were absolutely not allowed except in specific areas/events. There have been a few instances, especially when the original social media boom happened, that people were posting real-time information of things that absolutely should not have been posted.
I remember very vividly some dumb sh*t on my ship posting pictures on their Myspace page of Tomahawk missiles being launched ... before they hit their targets. :slap:
From that point on, outgoing data was very restricted when it needed to be. I can only assume that's still the case.
Oh, and happy Birthday to the bug eaters. |
