OK, you light blue suiters: Get to work building your networks!
I’m sure the site is as polished as the Navy one, so I expect you’ll find a great place to catch up with your former AF friends. Geez…we have “shipmates.” What do you AF type call the people you served with?

I received an invite from a friend to join the silly website army.togetherweserved. I registered, however, not under my own name, as I wanted to see what was on this website. I posted the below text on their forums, as I felt everyone should read it. Shockingly (not really) – it was erased almost immediately, my account was deleted, and my IP was blocked from the site. While I don’t really care about the latter two events, the first one showed that sometimes the truth hurts.
“I sent this message via PM to someone earlier and I think it bears repeating for the group. It probably won’t be up for long, so enjoy.
Hans, my problem with the website and its lack of verification is two fold. On one hand, people can put absolutely anything on here and there’s no controls whatsoever on what you can put on here. All the while billed as some sort “exclusive” site for mil personnel.
Now, that doesn’t bother me near as much as that they might actually want verification, and that numerous stupid people, the same ones who get their identity stolen everyday, will probably do things like send this random site, which is nothing more than MySpace geared towards the military, their 214 or ERB or ORB. They have no business getting that. Further, while most of this info is fairly innocuous, you can go a long way to learning about people on here. This is precisely why this is an Opsec nightmare.
A FIS agent, trained or untrained, could use this place as a gold mine to harvest data from. Some of it displayed in profiles. Some of it will be in the form of contact under the guise of association (the whole I was in 4ID at the same time, let’s be buds thing).
I personally wouldn’t put identifying information such as what you’ve revealed in your profile, but you’re far from the worst offender. Do whatever you want, but you and others on here have just exposed as much information about you to the world as most figures who are generally considered public do when they’re holding office or involved in similar things. There’s very little benefit to doing that.
