Social media is the fastest growing vulnerability to the military mission and the personal security of all Airmen. On 30 November 2014 the FBI issued warning to members of the US military and requested that they review their social media presence for any information like names and addresses that might attract the attention of violent ISIS extremists. Over the past decade the convergence of mobile broadband devices has enabled social media to become more and more integrated into our everyday lives. The inherent risks and vulnerabilities of the internet and social networking sites like Facebook LinkedIn and Twitter along with the Air Force s endorsement to actively use social media has cultivated a rich and ripe environment for foreign adversaries and criminals to cherry-pick personal information about Airmen and their missions for nefarious activities. To help Americans understand the risks that come with being online the Department of Homeland Security launched a new cybersecurity awareness campaign: Stop Think and Connect. To educate Airmen on social media AF public affairs created the Air Force Social Media Guide in 2013 to encourage Airmen to share their AF experiences with family and friends in the social media environment. However this is counter to the FBI s guidance that promotes the reduction of users on-line footprint and online presence in cyberspace.

There s never been a more important time for students to develop media literacy competencies.
