LINKEDIN Profiles
I have been looking at the profiles and details some serving members of the Armed Forces place on LinkedIn (professional Face-book). I understand that blowing your own trumpet is sometimes needed when applying for jobs but why put details such as your last annual assessment (along with the name of who wrote it!) when still in? Also a full list of what roles and responsibilities you have had do not need to be shared in an uncontrolled manner, especially if they concern ongoing ops!
I remember the days you were encouraged to be the grey man and not advertise your background. Some seem not to have been educated in this area and leave themselves wide open to HIS.
Some individuals clearly have an elevated opinion of their own performance and a vivid imagination. I hope they do not attract unwanted attention as a result.
