So any guardsmen gets TS clearance? Also, from what I understand from reading, he isn’t the person who actually had the intel. Why the heck would a 21 yo stateside non-commissioned guardsman have TS access to top-of-chain documents in a conflict without guardsmen in Ukraine?
Your post makes zero sense.
There are going to be a lot of “counseling” sessions on the Cape this weekend.
Story doesn’t hold up. An E-3 guardsmen who isn’t even involved in the Ukraine conflict is highly unlikely to have this level of access, including updates as of two weeks ago. Doesn’t pass the smell test at all.
I wonder if whatever accounts for that rank should have also hurt his clearance.

His MOS was in military intelligence - if you had any clue about how the military works or had even read the article you would not ask such questions.
This is a trove of intelligence, not some sheet of paper left absent-mindedly on a desk.
How many Biden sympathizers are posting in this thread?
You continuing to insinuate that any low-rank guardsman in intelligence would have this level of information doesn’t make it any more true.
LOL, not at this level. In reality, the level of this information is in the WH, Pentagon and a few select congress, maybe 3-4 of them. In fact if more than 20 people (EO-Eyes Only) hads access to this I would be surprised.
Just so you know he was in the 102nd Intelligence Wing and, obviously, had a need to know, else he would have had no access.
Hopefully you will learn something about the military works from this incident. Age, rank, sex, branch of service have nothing to do with anything in this story.
TS is not all that sensitive, unlike Code Word, SAP etc.
Bingo!
Bingo. I would think closer to 20 people have seen this at the Pentagon, WH and congress. This was not out there floating around to be found. The question is, did someone from the WH leak it to this group?
Why so nasty?
Rather than say something so stupid as you did why not just say what the error was?
As it is you got in a silly accusation of me not knowing about the military but you didn’t explain or even mention what your point was.
Will they call him a “White Hispanic” like George Zimmerman?
Just so you know, I was in the military and know how this all works. This guy did not have access to real time intelligence. He was a national guardsman. Not active duty. They don’t place this type of intel on a server that can be accessed anywhere.
Well, it appears that one or some of his friends really screwed him (even more) by making the information public if he didn't.
If he was in an Intelligence unit, someone in the unit had access to the info - likely the CO. I’m just saying, classified and unclassified documents could have’ been co-mingled in the safe - depending on the Unit’s attention to security, he have had unauthorized access.
Actually I read this morning that upwards to 5,000 people in the DOD would have had access to this information. So..this isn’t what might be considered “tightly held.”
I guess someone has to compile the daily briefings to give to the higher folks. Why not an Airman in Cape Cod?
His Unit was attached to an Active Duty unit - and given his duty location, he easily could have access to the info even during weekend duty.
“An E-3 in his 4th year in service.”
Keep in mind that after AIT most Guardsmen (unless you’re full time) are working a few days a month and a few weeks a summer. Very hard to rank up unless you get activated. I run into quite a few E-5, E-6s that are in their 40s.
NG does have access depending on MOS - He was in the 102 Intelligence Air Wing, meaning he had the MOS and so the clearance and need to know - you imagine they just twiddle thumbs all day?
