FitBit just mapped out all US military facilities publicly

Who the fuck allowed these to be brought into a military base/environment in the first place?

The Pentagon. Originally they were banned, then the Pentagon lifted the ban in 2015. They're still prohibited in a SCIF, but everywhere else the prohibition was rescinded.

Time to reinstate the ban again. This is incredibly stupid.

When they first showed up, only the junior ranks were using them, so the senior officers banned them, but then, the senior officers started using them too, so the ban got lifted. Now the senior officers are just as addicted to them as everybody else, I doubt the Generals want to give up their fitbits naow.

If we had had those back in the day, quite sure we would have got addicted to them as well, all we had were those old fashioned analogue odometers, which didn't really work.

My grandfather smoked when he was flying over "The Hump", when he came home he never picked up another cigarette or cigar for the rest of his life. A habit can be beaten into submission with a strong enough will. If you are telling me that today's military is full of limp-wristed pansies that can't break a potentially detrimental habit that can risk security on its face, then we need to start to bring back the school of hard knocks.

Those devices are a fucking cancer.

I was trained by the SOHK, but they call that "harassment and abuse" now, I don't think the military has the juice to override public opinion, if they did, it wouldn't be the love camp that it is already.

Mind you, if they had tried to ban cigarettes at the SOHK, that would have been a failure, they would have had a mutiny on their hands.

No smoking on patrol, fair enough, no smoking at all, good luck with that.

There are definitely limits to how much you can crack down, even at the SOHK, before you incite the troops to buck the rider.

There is a point, where you don't fuckin' care anymore, not scared of anything, go ahead, charge my ass, whoopie fuckin' do.

Can't do time, don't do crime, but once you've been to the SOHK, you'll do that time standing on your head.

Once you make the troops iron hard, they're hardened to everything, including your threats of chickenshit administrative punishment in the end.

At the SOHK, we were wild things, administrative punishment was just the price of doing business, bring it on, didn't scare us at all, when you're going to get punished for something, one way or the other, punishment is of no consequence then, you get so much stick at the SOHK, after awhile, you don't even feel it anymore.

Banning Fitbit and stuff of the sort should not be an issue. Like I said, my grandfather stopped smoking when he came back to the states.

The military could smoke all they want, just don’t wear a bloody GPS on your wrist that gives a third party your position at all times.

[Smitty-48]

Meh, same thing as smoking, not on patrol, but in garrison, whatever, the enemy knows where you are, American troops aren't hiding from anybody, easy to spot them from miles and miles away.

You really think the enemy needs a fitbit to track the routine movements of American troops? I mean, ca'mon, don't be silly.

Soon as you leave the FOB, they're watching your every move, no GPS required.

This is goddamn hilarious. MIC gets a taste of its own surveillance medicine.

An interactive online fitness tracking map published in November of 2017 which compiles a running history of the location and routes of 27 million fitness-device users has unwittingly revealed the location, staffing, patrol routes and layout of U.S. and foreign military bases around the world.

San Francisco based fitness company Strava posted their "global heatmap" to their website, containing two years worth of fitness data across several fitness devices such as Jawbone and Fitbit. The map is not live, rather, it is a composite of overlapping routes.

In most urban areas such as major cities such as New York, Strava's map appears as solid neon lights following just about every road on which one might exercise.

Remote locations, however, such as deserts in places like Syria and Iraq are almost entirely dark - aside from clandestine locations where military personnel using fitness trackers are stationed. Personnel in some of the US government's most sensitive facilities have been unwittingly been broadcasting sensitive information up to and including underground tunnels.
