A quick definition of traditional public forum:

A traditional public forum is a place where people have gathered for a long time to express their ideas and opinions. Examples include public parks, sidewalks, and streets. The government can regulate these places, but only if the rules are necessary to serve an important government interest and don't limit free speech too much. A designated public forum is a place that the government has opened up for public use, like a public university or theater. The government can limit what people say in these places, but only if the rules are reasonable and don't discriminate based on the content of the speech.

A more thorough explanation:

A traditional public forum is a public place where people have traditionally gathered to express their ideas and exchange views. Examples of traditional public forums include public streets, sidewalks, and parks. The government can regulate the use of these spaces, but any regulation must be narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest and must usually be limited to time, place, or manner restrictions.

For example, a city may require a permit for a large protest in a public park to ensure public safety and prevent damage to the park. However, the city cannot ban all protests in the park or restrict the content of the speech.

It is important to note that traditional public forums are open for expressive activity regardless of the government's intent. The government must accommodate private speakers because the objective characteristics of these properties require it.

A designated public forum is public property that has not traditionally been open for public assembly and debate but that the government has opened for use by the public as a place for expressive activity. Examples of designated public forums include public university facilities or publicly owned theaters.

The government does not have to retain the open character of a designated public forum, and the subject matter of the expression permitted in a designated public forum may be limited to accord with the character of the forum. Reasonable, content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions are generally permissible. However, any prohibition based on the content of the expression must be narrowly drawn to effectuate a compelling state interest, as with a traditional public forum.

For example, a public university may open a designated public forum for student groups to express their views. The university can limit the use of the forum to certain hours or days and require a permit, but it cannot ban certain viewpoints or restrict the content of the speech.

If the property is not a traditional public forum and the government has not chosen to create a designated public forum, the property is either a nonpublic forum or not a forum at all.

For example, a government office building is not a public forum because it is not a place where people traditionally gather to express their ideas and exchange views. The government can restrict speech in a nonpublic forum as long as the restriction is reasonable and not based on the content of the speech.

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19

Psyop guys will try and convince you they are like secret masterminds. I had this one guy whose wife would call me every week and she would tell me about how her husband just like disappeared and could not be found cus he was a specialy trained psyop officer. I found his phone number and called him the same day online. That woman was gaslit so hard.

is t4 HYSC? yeah prob your odds are not too great for those with 3.7 and 171 unless you’re really extraordinary

I agree with soap on this one, just wait it out and see where you get into. You could always transfer (although I wouldn't go in with the intention of transferring)
soap
10:37
Transferring is hard and you don’t get money. I wouldn’t do anything with the intent of transferring
Disagree with the transfer. But, yeah a 3.7, 171 is not HYSC material—so unless you’re a Rhodes scholar, or something it is highly unlikely.

@m10: most of PSYOP are guys who failed SFAS and Ranger so much so they can't go back and think being SOCOM makes them SF. I loved the cultural side of it all, going to embassies and running influence operations. Doing KLEs and training with foreign militaries was amazing. Learned so much about the world by talking to those who live all over it. Then got lucky and worked with a Marine HIT overseas and would tag along when they kidnapped people to do some stuff lol The rest of the time was a lot of reports and KLEs

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Did not know that but it makes sense. That sounds like a cool career. I would have liked to have done that too. I really would have just liked to have gone OCONUS once.
