 As the race for president draws closer, it's important to remember what we can and cannot say regarding political expression on social media sites. Petty Officer Lorenzo Birlsen explains more. An article on Navy Live provides service members and DOD personnel the do's and don'ts for voicing our political opinions on sites like Facebook and Twitter. For service members, you can voice a political opinion on social media, but you should make clear that the views stated are your own and not those of the DOD. Remember, as service members, you cannot post or make direct links to a political party or candidate, but you can like or follow the page of a party or candidate. Read more on the do's and don'ts in the blog on Navy Live. That also provides a link to the public affairs policy guidance NAVADMEN. For more information on what you can and cannot say, visit ah.mil.
