Please, Only Join the Private Groups Shown on Page 2.

 

Why are Public Groups dangerous for recruit families?

 

* Zero Privacy (OPSEC): Anyone on the internet can see what you post without joining. Scammers harvest your recruit’s full name, battalion, and graduation dates directly off your comments.

 

* No Admin Screening: Anyone can post links. Scammers flood public groups with fake t-shirt sales, fake photo packages, and phishing links charging for "graduation live streams."

 

* Targeted Scams: Once a bad actor sees you posting in a public group, they clone official admin profiles and message you directly pretending there is an emergency with your recruit.

 

* Legitimate military support groups are set to Private to protect recruits and screen out bad actors before they can see family posts.
