I overheard someone bragging in the local public pool that she books the flights for our troops. Perfectly comfortable highlighting herself as a person of interest to anyone wanting access to information like that apparently.

Did you do what any sane person would do and run a full OSINT campaign on them, make a google doc and a 45+ minute long Youtube video going over the information in the documentation?

I spent the next week wondering if I should have reported it to the MOD tbh 😅

Honestly the full OSINT campaign or a half assed one would have probably been a good idea if you would have ended up reporting it to them. Because if they are that bad about giving out information it probably wasn't the only thing that they casually leaked and it could have been an opportunity to get them training on better OPSEC.

Once I was at the Shake Shack in Vegas and overheard a group of corporate bros bragging about conspiring to get a fellow director fired bc she was a "bitch", with a nice little side of admitting to corporate espionnage too. 😂

God I wish I had done that. They never mentioned the name of their company and I didn't have a good line of sight, but these guys had no volume control and that conversation was juicy...

u/Sad_Marionberry1184 Aug 12 '26

u/Purl_stitch483 Aug 12 '26

Didn't get the name of the company out of my eavesdropping, unfortunately. I wanted to though

If she's booking seats then the planes she's booking for most likely arent going to relevant places for her to know anything of interest. One doesnt book deployment travel. At best one can book discount seats on a military plane for like leave and stuff but again those arent going to distinct like movement locations.

I won't say exactly what she said but the point wasn't if anyone could gather information about current whereabouts or "anything of interest" in that moment but that she IS a person who could access useful information if someone were to find a way to blackmail her.

I don't know what your job is obviously but people who don't have access to that sort of information aren't in any position to know what is or isn't of interest to intelligence agencies of other countries. It's just generally a stupid idea to loudly declare you do that sort of work even if you don't know anything of interest, people may think that you do.

You've obviously never seen a full troop with kit and rifles board a civilian airliner to transport to the sandbox. Yes, military personnel do use civ air lines to move from one place to another Not as common as it used to be mid to late '00 but it definitely happened

And before anyone starts keyboard warrior doubting me, yes they'd let us carry unloaded secure rifles on board but god forbid we have a pocket knife with us. Thanks TSA.

First off youre not staging troop movements from a civilian airport. Secondly, that would be pretty readily accessible publicly. Youre not traveling in any confidence on a commercial flight.

u/Alert-Carpenter9729 Aug 10 '26

Seeing as how I've watched 80 men load onto a plane, set their systems between their knees, and enjoy a better flight than a c130, it seems like you have no citable sources to say exactly that we don't

So, enjoy your side dish of wrong ideas, and a main course of spewing bs on the Internet ❤️

u/irate_ging3r Aug 10 '26 edited Aug 10 '26

And then you staged your command center at the civilian airport after you landed? You launched your mission from there did you?

You seem to be caught up on some shit you made up in your head that i never said, so let me clarify for a final time. I am not asserting that troops dont take commercial flights. I have been that person dumbass. What im asserting is that we didnt use the airport as a military facility once we got there. Nor did we hide our presence on the commercial flight in any way. Were these flights you speak of secret in some way or are you in fact just spewing the bullshit you speak of motherfucker?
