With the amount of users in this website and the ease of access to begin with, are you giving too much information?

Thanks for posting. It's always best to have a professional discussion about people's concerns.
I would also recommend this related topics to check out, about internet discussions in general:

The example I always is with Lawrence Livermore National Labs (nuclear research), near where I went to school. When I was there, you could get arrested for even bringing a camera to near its fence line. Now you can view the entire facility in one meter color resolution in Google Maps. The world has changed. Information brings power... and while certainly there will be those who try to abuse or exploit it, the positive benefit it brings to everybody in the world far outweighs it.
We can't live like technology is not advancing human cause. When the radio came out, I'm sure there were those who feared its military use because it can be intercepted. We have to embrace technology and harness its power in a responsible way. That is what we strive for at RallyPoint, and to the benefit of all military members and veterans.
If one is not comfortable with certain information being potentially known, please don't post it.

How safe are your discussions on the Internet? | RallyPoint
In this day and age when there are so many reports of cyberattacks and privacy breeches just how safe are your discussions on sites such as RP or other military sites? Sure there are privacy settings that can be adjusted but that is in and of itself no assurance of privacy or security. For instance, did you know that despite adjusting your settings to only allow verified members to contact you, that the content of your discussions here are RP...

Appreciate the warning. cyber security always a concern, and the potential for social engineers must be taken seriously. That being said, the site is filled with constant professionals. If are in danger of providing too much info, someone WILL tell you. The military does a good job of policing its own.
