13. That's the way it is

I only found out about it because I tried to click the link to the article but have enough sense not to get anywhere near the classified docs. Unfortunately there are many in the military that don't have any type of clearances don't get the repeated training on spillage as often as they should.

It's not a restriction thing but a security issue.I just thought some professional insight might be helpful.
