The CAF has gradually softened its view on social media. I remember going through briefing when the general expectation was that you shouldn't appear on the internet in any compacity to the point that the CAF has fully embraced it to the point of Star Wars memes. Although, a lot of that was probably due to dinosaurs retiring.Oh man, no kidding.
Some recruit to CAF was on Facebook once bragging about how he was getting a top secret security clearance for whatever trade he was. I was bored, so I dug into his social media for about ten minutes, and messaged him a photo of the front of his house, names of his immediately family members, and where his sister currently went to high school along with a ‘hey dude, maybe be careful with saying you’re CAF and getting TS’. I think I spooked him pretty good.
It's kind of silly that some people from that age group are worried about people putting information on line, when there used to literally be a book that anyone could look at that listed where everyone lived along with their phone number.
Allegedly, these books still exist, so I've been told.
