To: drop 50 and fire for effect

I see. They are OK with the public having access to all of that?

Back in the old days we had a blizzard in the Fayetteville and Fort Bragg greater area.

Took me almost an hour to get in to work. Slowly the rest of the troops arrived. We sat around for about an hour and command called and said the base was closed and to go home.

Could have used twitter back then.

I suspect that depends. Things like:

2 for 1 ice cream at the dispensary Tuesday from 6-9PM
or

Spur 396 entrance reduced to two lanes for construction sat-mon

Don’t forget to sign up for the annual base sock-hop and apple bobbing competition!

are probably okay.

On the other hand, things like:
Notice - practice artillery range will be extra noisy Wednesday AM

For a good time call Jenny, 876-5309

Probably not so much.
:)

Yes, it can be useful information for soldiers, family members, civilian employees, contractors, visitors. A lot of installations have graduation ceremonies, museums, monuments, or other facilities that the public can access.

They use it for public announcements as other have said, not for things such as troop movements.

And with civilians working on post, they have a need to know that the post will be closed because of weather, road construction on post. And for military and their dependent to know if the commissary PX/BX/NavEx are closed or reduced hours or if there is a training event that will cause the post/base hospital to be closed or have reduced services.
