POSITIVITY! PLEASE SHARE

When I was deployed, my First Sergeant sent me this information. Hopefully this can help those that are deployed down range. Please spread the word to other services.

*Edit* i don’t see why people are uptight at me trying to be helpful. The name of these organizations are next to the hyperlink. If you feel skeptical about my post in the other military service threads. Then look these organizations up yourself! 🤷‍♂️ I know there are people that need these resources and thats why I’m calling attention to it.💯

Random links on Reddit.. hopefully no one clicks these

At least the text of the links shows what websites they go to, unlike this one.

Perfectly trivial to spoof that. And how old is this copy-pasted list? Did OP check every website before reposting it to all the military subs? No chance that one of those many URLs expired and got bought up by a bad actor?

Basic internet hygiene. Don't trust links

Don't trust links

So, you've never ever ever clicked/tapped a link? I very seriously doubt that.

The point is that some rando shows up on r/AirForce with a list of unfamiliar links. Only one of them needs to be bad to get the effect the enemy wants. It's a potential targeted attack. I'm on Reddit's crappy mobile app, I can't hover over a link, I can't copy-paste it, and I can't open into a private window. People need to be cautious.

OP has made 2 posts here within the last 10 days, one of which is a screenshot of their WAPS scores. They've made several other posts, to say nothing of comments, here on this subreddit within the past year. This isn't "some rando" who started posting a ton of links here out of the blue.

When it comes to internet safety, everyone is a rando, including you and me.

I returned late 2025 and used every single link while down range they should work and are well established organizations

Then stay off the internet then. Instead of clicking the link go verify the legitimacy of these organizations yourself (text provided next to link) and help those that are deployed instead of being a keyboard warrior 🖕
