The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Having deployed operationally 3x with a JSOTF, the 5Ws of pending operations would generally be classified at the SECRET level, perhaps higher depending on the gravity and scope of the operation.

They're not unclassified.

Signal is not an appropriate platform for any messaging other than "check your high side please" and that's exactly where the messaging should be - on classified networks. Which are controlled for access - that is no journalists could participate, even inadvertently. No hostile nation states.

This is the most significant OPSEC failure I've seen that I can remember, across my 35 year DoD arc.

This is what happens when you put amateur, unqualified, no merit loyalists in high positions.
