Do not disclose classified operational information — specific unit locations, active operation plans, intelligence sources, patrol routes, or force disposition. Colombia's security situation involves active armed groups (ELN, FARC dissidents, BACRIM) that conduct intelligence against military targets. Your honest account of service conditions, training, institutional culture, and career reality does not compromise security. Information that could assist armed groups in targeting military personnel or installations does.
