As an active duty serviceman, all I can say is that when we heard these stories pop up, all we thought is how incompetent the leakers were.<br><br>There’s a mountain of paperwork and documents that you have to sign acknowledging the consequences of handling classified materials. Seeing the War Thunder leaks shows that 1. They are definitely passionate, and 2. They probably should have been caught long ago for complacency.<br><br>The hilarious thing is that its officially a meme in the community.,(reply>), If Artillery was in the game, I would personally leaked Classified documents since I and a Artilleryman myself.,(reply>), @Drebin2293 Actually the ERA on the Challenger 2 was Secret UKEO, same goes for defensive aid suites on certain vehicles.,(reply>), I used to work with crypto, computers, and comm equipment over a decade ago. When it comes to material classified as secret and top secret? You're absolutely right.<br><br>When it comes to material deemed as confidential or just controlled? That's another matter.<br>Anytime I went up to get the day's crypto, I'd have to sign for it, and ensure custody until I was finished loading the transcoders and returned it. But that was considered Secret at the time.<br><br>The schematics and books I received as a part of mos school? To be honest I can't remember anything about them being classified in any manner. We each had our own personal 5in binder sets. We were allowed to keep them as though they were personal possessions. Though I didn't deal with direct combat equipment, I have no doubt that the material wasn't meant for public disbursement.<br><br>I can only guess at the status of the operator and service manuals for vehicles and aircraft.
