Good thing I have a smart phone. Same one I use to watch porn in the latrine.

What are they worried about? Some young impressionable PFC might decide he doesn't want the government spying on its own citizens, and lose faith?


I really do understand that idea that if they read something classified, it's "introducing classified information into an unclassified network or computer information system." I get it. I remember doing network security monitoring for the AF when Wikileaks was the big deal. I found the total lack of common sense just as big a waste then as I do now...
It may seam stupid but DOD has regulations. No classified on Unclassified machines. If it happens for any reason they have to follow protocol. If you want to surf the web for this type of info do it on your own device and your own time.

They are not keeping little Johnny in the dark they are just following regulations. Little Johnny can fill his head with all he wants but not on DODs equipment and bandwidth. I wish the rest of the government would be a strait forward with following regulations.
