Do you ever leave your military e-mail unsecured?

Don't mind the survey! I made a mistake.

I can tell you on several occasions in my career a disgruntled civilian has demanded my chain of command's contact information because I hurt their feelings in a complaint I made about a business in person and in the form of an ICE complaint or I told someone at CIF they had substandard business ethics and they should have their contract taken away. Every time I tactfully refused and explained our business was between each other, and not my supervisor. I have not idea why a disgruntled civilian would want my CoC contact information especially if I was a victim of some unfair bias or business practice. As anyone experienced a civilian wanting to go straight to your CoC because whatever wasn't in their favor?

Don't mind the survey! I made a mistake.

While I was in, there were definitely times when I would leave my email unsecured while moving around the building of my unit. In hindsight, that was a bad idea, though fortunately nothing bad occurred on my end.

No - never did and I don't understand why any email would be unsecure.
