Welcome to my crafty little corner! Feel free to comment and follow me on my path to creativity. I love meeting new people, so don't be shy! Scrapbooking, journaling, making felt plushies, embroidery, painting, photography, blogging, organizing, reading, and sewing are some of my most favorite things.
I would love to know whose genius idea it was to post the date and time when all the deployed soldiers are coming home.. You know... all over Facebook. To make matters worse, it was done on the public Air Force fan page, by the MODERATOR of the page!!! So what happened to security?? Don't these things need to be kept in secret?? So the soldiers who have been gone for 6 months, can have a SAFE return flight home. Now... everyone and their mama, who knows how to click the "like" on a FB fan page are able to get this information. My husband will be on this flight, I am sick to my stomach that I don't feel that security knowing he will be safe. Guess I know who to look for blame if anything happens to these men who have sacrificed everything to defend our country because someone had to announce this on a PUBLIC FACEBOOK page.
/end rant
this is amazing to me...this makes absolutely no sense at all. please keep us posted on the arrival of your husband...i wish him as well as all the others who have sacrificed so much for our country a safe trip home ♥
ReplyDeleteWOW !!!! I am at a loss. I cannot believe something like that could be compromised because someone wasn't THINKING and posted that information !!!! That is absolutely ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteThat said, OMG !!!! JOE WILL BE HOME TO YOU SOON !!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY DANCE OF HAPPY !!!!!!
xoxoxoxo
That's terrible! Is there a way to contact the moderator and see if s/he can remove it? Maybe not a lot of people have seen it yet?
ReplyDeleteThat's so ridiculous. I'm sorry Lindsay! People just don't think, you know? Hope you linked to this post on the page!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Super glad he's coming home soon though for ya :)
Wow!!! Sometimes I swear peoples brains check out when the get on FB. Sending a prayer of safety and protection for your hubby and your family.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs a refresher course on OPSEC and then a swift kick in the ass.
ReplyDeleteThat being said - I'm so happy for you that your husband is coming home to you & your family! From one military spouse to another, I know how excited you must feel! Praying for his safe return to your arms!
Sophie- Yes, I did link this post there. I hope something is done about it, I wasn't the only one upset by this.
ReplyDeleteKam- I'm in the process of trying to get the info down, waiting on a call :)
I saw that this morning, too! My eyes went boggling out of my head. It makes no sense even if it were a fake post just to lure folks into it or not... they do not have any sense. It's just too obvious and someone at public affairs needs a lesson on logic.
ReplyDeleteLove you! Your day-to-day routine will soon be working with that man of yours!
I can NOT belivev that Lindsay!!!
ReplyDeleteDOn't worry though he'll be home safe and sound soon!
But seriosuly, soooo lame!

That sucks Lindsay, facebook can be good and evil at the same time! I am sure that everything will be just fine, but that's still nuts!
ReplyDeletexoxo~Meg
OMG, that is so ridiculous! I am sure you are so mad! You have every right to be!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you~ and know that Joseph will be home safe with you soon!
xoxox!
I think its funny how my whole AF carreer Ive always been told "dont share this info with your families over the internet, for security reasons." Even when we do find out this kind of thing its always last minute. Either way, Im just glad to be coming home finally. I miss you soo much and cant wait to see and hold you again. This has been the longest 6 months of my life. I guess I dont need to tell you when Im getting home lol! See you soon!
ReplyDeleteLindsay,
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you or any of the others spouse's for being upset over such information getting out. However I do hope that who ever done it gets nailed & held accountable for such stupidity!! Sorry but the men & women put their lives on the lines daily so others can use their rights to be stupid! Which is clearly what this person has done. That's what my late husband used to say he was so glad that he had stood up for this country to be free & have the freedoms that we all have..only to have people use those rights to do crap like this. Honey, I pray that everyone gets home safe & sound to their love ones.
I completely understand where you are coming from! I was in the military myself and my man stayed in a year and a half longer to deploy a third time. Flight info got leaked out and they ended up changing the flight. I didn't find out the new flight info until the night of through a friend who I stayed with who was also in charge of the manifests. Don't worry... they will take precautions over this. Until they are home safe, they (and you) will be in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteOmgoodness! This is horrible. I'm so sorry Lindsay.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything you can do as far as complaining to someone? Because if you can, you definitely should!
Ugh- so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!

Hi, I found you through Friendly Friday and am now following you
ReplyDeleteI saw the actual post and the last comment which I don't know who this person was sd they had it cleared by command. I don't believe they would clear this for a public forum.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for Joseph and his squad to come home safe and sound to you, Hay and KayK. Sending my huggs and love to all of you. I hope our military take steps to assure our military men and woman will be protected.
Someone needs to get this FB fanpage to limit what they release. I know I can't contact Obama he won't do a darn thing for our military. Wish Bush was still in office. just saying....
What a horrible thing to do! Stopping by to follow. Please follow me back.
ReplyDeleteI hate Facebook. I'm sure things will be fine. I would complain to the moderater.
ReplyDeleteseriously though.. that was stupid. Will they not get a convoy of security? Thats what they did with british soldiers.. the bike cops convoy.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you have to deal with this. Having your husband away from you is hard enough.
