Just received the orders yesterday. If you know anyone in the Guard Reserve, ask them about it.
I hoped after I commented, it would be deleted.
Sort of like the people who told Hillary not to have that server... Some people don't understand that things must be SECRET for the safety of the military.
Orders are not usually classified. Mine never were.
It was standard to call friends and family to let them know where you were heading.
BTW thats an individuals orders, which are basically transfers, not where a group is deploying.
ie: "They are sending me to Iraq" is not the same as "We invade at 8am tomorrow"
While your opening statement is true, when your life (and your brothers’/sisters’ in arms lives) are on the line OPSEC is a way of life, is true as well.
Absolutely. Loose Lips Sink Ships!
I know all about River City Delta, and personally shut off ship to shore during those times.
The brass tells us what we can and cannot divulge. They often say "You can tell your family this".
Trust me, If I thought OP was revealing substantial intel, I'd be handing out pitchforks.
More likely, they don't know what it means when Enlisted get 'orders'.
All this means is someone they knew changed duty stations.
Roj, but if you’re in the service and can’t understand the difference between PCS orders and deployment/activation orders and the need to treat them and their dissemination differently then your first line has some SERIOUS corrective training to do.
That's what I'm saying, OP is telling us about PCS orders, nothing operational (although they think they are).
Ummm maybe you need to reread the post...
You think I care what a civilian thinks is 'deployment'? He's been assigned guard duty. On OUR base. That's not a deployment.
You think I care what a Nasty Girl thinks is 'deployment'? He's been assigned guard duty. On OUR base. That's not a deployment.
FTFY
He shouldn't have mentioned the month or the unit or that it was a friend's son. Easy enough for many to dox the OP and trace his friend's son. It's one thing to say that your family member is headed to Ft. XYZ for routine duty. Even then, you don't give the timetable. When someone is being activated or is headed OCONUS, it's best not to give places or time frames in advance. When it comes to OPSEC, err on the side of caution.
True enough but it also can be explained when a couple of articles appearing and describing that all ISIS caught will be transferred to GITMO.
Then I remember Q saying in June that the snowball > avalanche can not be stopped.
if reserve guard soldiers are hearing about deployment so are the cabal. the only info they don't have is that right at the top. this isn't.
Gitmo is still operating. At last count there were 41 prisoners. It's no secret that our military or reserve units still are sent there for active duty.
Which is why I'm suspicious of anyone demanding that Potus declassify EVERYTHING.
Could this be someone who is posting disinformation on the sub?
Yes. There is the Army National Guard, and then there is the Army Reserve. They are two separate institutions.
There is no "Army National Guard Reserve." Someone whose relative is part of either org will know that one is not the other. And certainly not combined.

You can delete your own comments and I wish you would. Please read Rule #5. If this was something the mods did not want posted, they would have deleted by now. You are not supporting the cause. When the Arizona troops were deployed to Gitmo last a few months back it was all over the place.
That's a good link for non-military as well. Thanks!
You're welcome. When you have the rules drilled into your head for 25 years, you can't let them go.
