Just a civil­ian with a ques­tion, the title basi­cal­ly explains it in a nutshell.

Basi­cal­ly, I was on snapchat ear­li­er today and noticed some­body I had­n’t spo­ken to in a while post­ed a pic­ture. I checked out their pro­file and real­ized they had their loca­tion on. The area looked super for­eign so I checked it out. Start­ed to look like a mil­i­tary base, made sense see­ing as the pic­ture post includ­ed a uni­form. I was pret­ty inter­est­ed so I found out it’s Camp Casey (South Korea).

Back to my ques­tion. I was curi­ous as to whether or not mil­i­tary per­son­nel are allowed to have their loca­tions turned on. Seems like a huge liability/security risk in my opin­ion… but I’m also not an expert nor mem­ber of the military.

Thanks in advance.
