Will social media influence how we operate as a military? How so?

Sad to say, it's fairly well inbedded already. Our command PAOs have to be on their toes more today than ever. Unit movements, once a very strict confidential item has gone out the window. The more senior military members (both enlisted and officers) tend to avoid social media comments regarding military issues but sadly, for many it's tough to set emotional issues aside (like not getting promoted or having your CO get relieved) and not "purge your feelings" all over the internet.

Smart social media use is a valuable tool for morale and the effective transfer of information. It boils down to how well a command instills controls (serious training) over the potential abuse of social media. It's not going away and I don't forsee anyone taking away people's cell phones.
