This is directed at all of my Reserve Component Chief Petty Officer shipmates:
“Do you want to take COMMAND? Can you be entrusted to stand tall under pressure? If you are a Chief then the answer must be a resounding “Aye, Aye!” Would you like to drill/serve your country past the maximum 30 years of TIS allowed for enlisted personnel? Do you have what it takes to wear "eagles" on your collar or be a CWO5? Would you like to increase your retirement pay by 50% or even 100%?
If you are an E-7 through E-9 with the desire to reach for one of the most demanding and satisfying positions in the Navy, the Limited Duty Officer or Chief Warrant Officer Commissioning Program may be for you.
The RC LDO/CWO program is actively seeking candidates with the “right stuff”. The RC CWO program is in particular need of support from the CPO mess. We are approximately 50% manned in our RC CWO inventory and we are losing folks almost as fast as we are “making” them. The RC LDO situation is a bit better, but not by much. So the fleet has an incentive to get as many highly qualified candidates into those billets as possible.
If you are a Reserve Component Chief Petty Officer and are interested in the RC LDO/CWO program, then now is the time to take the next step.
The following designator/career fields are OPEN:

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

2. Social Media Roundup
Introduction
• In August of 2010, Adam Savage, of
“MythBusters,” took a photo of his
vehicle using his smartphone. He then
posted the photo to his Twitter account
including the phrase “off to work.”
• Since the photo was taken by his
smartphone, the image contained
metadata reveling the exact
geographical location the photo was
taken.
• So by simply taking and posting a photo,
Savage revealed the exact location of
his home, the vehicle he drives and the
time he leaves for work.

3. Social Media Roundup
Introduction
The following was published in
Wired Magazine in 2009
• “I ran a little experiment. On a sunny Saturday, I
spotted a woman in Golden Gate Park taking a
photo with a 3G iPhone. Because iPhones embed
geodata into photos that users upload to Flickr or
Picasa, iPhone shots can be automatically placed
on a map. At home I searched the Flickr map, and
score—a shot from today. I clicked through to the
user’s photostream and determined it was the
woman I had seen earlier. After adjusting the
settings so that only her shots appeared on the
map, I saw a cluster of images in one location.
Clicking on them revealed photos of an apartment

Now I know where she lives.”
4. Social Media Roundup
Introduction
• As the stories above indicate, privacy
and security aren’t what they used to
be. With advancements in
technology, enhanced GPS
capabilities and smartphones with
built-in GPS, managing privacy and
security is a fulltime job.
• The Army is always working to
protect itself against security
breaches, but with new technologies
come new risks. Today, more than
ever, it is vitally important that Army
leaders, Soldiers and Army civilians
understand what kind of data they
are broadcasting and what they can
do to protect themselves and their
families.
5. Social Media Roundup
What is geotagging?
• Geotagging is the process of adding
geographical identification to
photographs, video, websites and
SMS messages. It is the equivalent
of adding a 10-digit grid coordinate to
everything you post on the internet.
• Geotags are automatically embedded
in pictures taken with smartphones.
Many people are unaware of the fact
that the photos they take with their
smartphones and load to the Internet
have been geotagged.
• Photos posted to photo sharing sites
like Flickr and Picasa can also be
tagged with location, but it is not an
automatic function.
6. Social Media Roundup
Geotagging photos
• Photos have used geotagging for quite some
time. Certain formats like the JPEG format
allow for geographical information to be
embedded within the image and then read by
picture viewers. This shows the exact location
where a picture was taken.
• Most modern digital cameras do not
automatically add geolocation metadata to
pictures, but that is not always true. Camera
owners should study their camera’s manual
and understand how to turn off GPS
functions.
• On photo sharing sites, people can tag a
location on their photos, even if their camera
does not have a GPS function. A simple
search for “Afghanistan” on Flickr reveals
thousands of location tagged photographs
that have been uploaded.
7. Social Media Roundup
OPSEC Concerns
Tagging photos with an exact
location on the Internet allows
random people to track an
individual's location and correlate it
with other information.
Soldiers deploy to areas all over the
world. Some locations are public,
others are classified. Soldiers should
not tag their uploaded photos with a
location. Publishing photos of
classified locations can be
detrimental to mission success, and
such actions are in violation of the
Uniform Code of Military Justice.
9. Social Media Roundup
Location-based Social Networking
Location-based social networking is
quickly growing in popularity. A variety of
applications are capitalizing on users’
desire to broadcast their geographic
location.
Most location-based social networking
applications focus on “checking in” at
various locations to earn points, badges,
discounts and other geo-related awards.
The increased popularity of these
applications is changing the way we as a
digital culture view security and privacy on
an individual level. These changes in
perception are also creating OPSEC
concerns on an Army level.
10. Social Media Roundup
foursquare
http://foursquare.com/
Foursquare is a location-based social networking
website for mobile devices. Users “check-in” at
various places using a mobile website. They are
then awarded points and sometimes “badges.”
Users of foursquare use the service to share their
location with friends, meet new people and get
coupons. Users can also connect and publish their
“check ins” to Facebook and Twitter. If someone is
not a friend on foursquare they can still track your
whereabouts through Facebook.
Foursquare has over 4 million users.
Foursquare currently has iPhone, Android,
webOS, Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry
applications.
11. Social Media Roundup
Facebook places
http://www.facebook.com/places/
• Facebook’s “Places” is similar to
Foursquare in that it gives an
individual’s location when the
users posts information using a
mobile application.
• This feature is available by using
the Facebook application for
iPhone, touch.facebook.com and
Android.
• This function is automatically
active on all Facebook accounts
until disabled.
12. Social Media Roundup
Gowalla
http://gowalla.com/
• Gowalla is another location-
based social networking
application that functions
much like Foursquare and
Facebook Places.
• Users can build a Passport
which includes a collection of
stamps from the places users
have been.
• Gowalla users can also post
photos and submit tips at
various locations.
13. Social Media Roundup
SCVNGR
http://www.scvngr.com/
• SCVNGR is a location-based social networking application that takes “checking
in” a step further by allowing companies, educational institutions and organizations
to build challenges inside the platform.
• Users are encouraged to complete the challenges in order to earn points, badges
or real-life discounts and coupons.
14. Social Media Roundup
Why are these applications potentially dangerous?
Establishes patterns: Services like
MotionX (on right) and other location-
based social networking applications
allow strangers to track your movements
every day. If they watch someone long
enough they will know exactly when and
where to find that person on any given
day.
Exposes places of duty and home: By
tracking movements and aggregating
information, strangers can determine
where someone lives and works.
Identifies location of Army personnel:
If certain applications are used daily
around Army populations, an enemy can
determine potential targets.
15. Social Media Roundup
OPSEC Concerns
The main function of location-
based social networking
applications is to broadcast a
user’s specific location. Exposing
Soldier and unit locations gives
the enemy the upper hand.
One Soldier exposing his/her
location can affect the entire
mission.
Deployed Soldiers, or Soldiers
conducting operations in
classified areas should not use
location-based social networking
services. These services will
bring the enemy right to the
Army’s doorstep.
17. Social Media Roundup
Avoid geotags on photosharing applications
• Many photosharing applications give
the user the opportunity to geotag a
photo. In some cases, these geotags
can add context to a photo, but when
it comes to Army operations,
geotagging operational photos is not
allowed.
• Users can delete geotagged photos,
but once the information is out there,
it’s out of the user’s hands. Even if
posted briefly, the enemy can capture
Social Media Fact vital information and record exact grid
Something as simple as loading a photo of your bunk in coordinates of troop populations.
Afghanistan to Flickr, then geotagging it, can bring a
mortar right into your area of operation.
18. Social Media Roundup
Turn off GPS function on phones
• One of the simplest ways to
avoid displaying too much
information is to disable the
geotagging function on
smartphones.
• Since most smartphones
automatically display
geographical information, it
takes a little more effort on the
user’s part to protect their
privacy.
• It’s important that all users
understand their specific
systems and make efforts to
turn off their phone’s
geotagging function.
19. Social Media Roundup
Summary
• Geotagging photos and using location-based social networking applications is
growing in popularity, but in certain situations, exposing specific geographical
location can be devastating to Army operations.
• Soldiers should never tag photos with geographical location when loading to
photo sharing sites like Flickr and Picasa.
• Soldiers should not use location-based social networking applications when
deployed, at training or while on duty at locations where presenting exact grid
coordinates could damage Army operations.
• It is advised that while Soldiers are engaged in Army operations, they should turn
off the GPS function of their smartphones. Failure to do so could result in damage
to the mission and even put families at risk.
• Users deciding to utilize location-based social networking sites should be aware of
the default settings for the services and devises they use. It is recommend that
the users customize settings to be mindful of OPSEC and success of Army
operations.
