It’d be easier to advertise!

I saw something the other day that disturbed me. I live near a military post, and I saw a fellow parent dropping their child off at school. As they were in front of me, I was only able to see the two stickers that were in their back window:

The first was one of those stickers that you can buy in the PX (BX for you Air Force folks) showing their rank. 

The second was one of those “family stickers” that you can get just about anywhere, showing three stick figures labeled “Dad”, “Mom” and “Hannah” (name changed, of course)

Which brings up the oh-so-important point of family OPSEC. Without ever meeting the driver (believe me, I would love to), I know their branch, rank and child’s name and school. It would be a simple matter for a “bad guy” to fill in the blanks from there.

The sad fact is that family’s can be targets, too. Don’t let them be a soft target
