I've been pretty well "outed" anyway thanks to some very nice people at News Papers in Portland and in Salem. Since I'm a retired LEO, my pension comes from a State Public Employee's Retirement Fund - Police & Fire Classification (along with a small Service Connected Disability Pension). These news papers filed suit against the state demanding the list and status of all PERS retiree's.
After a rather one sided fight a liberal Judge, democratic governor (who refused to try and stop it) and a Democratic AG, (who refused to stand up for us) ruled that the news papers could have the information as it was contained on a state data base subject to FOIA and the Public Records Law.
So all anyone has to do is know where to look. You will find Name, rank, years of service, amount of pension, etc., etc., etc..
Another little tid bit for Oregon. License Plate number, $10 and a trip to DMV and you can even find out what type of tattoo a person has below the bikini line.

Yikes, that's a bit more info than the freedom of information act vice the privacy act ought to allow.
ON THIS NOTE however, be sensitive to what is acceptable info to place online. Mission sensitive info such as movement, or other similar info needs to be guarded especially.
Your own ID is important too - although in my case any tango's that care to hunt me down at home WILL come under heavy fire from my entire neighborhood.
We kinda funny out here in the sticks...

Agreed, that info is available upon request, but when your the guy pointing lasers at targets for tomahawks to come in, I get shunned by people as evil, even though that was over 20 years ago and with the drone's firing at free will. Come and knock on my door, I only worry about my neihbor across the street opening up and putting rounds thru my house, have to work that in our plan.

I would caution anyone against coming into my property any way except right down the driveway in plain sight. Those pretty hedges I grow around my place are not what they seem to be...

I may have been a lowly REMF - but I learned a few things I maybe wasn't supposed to.

ATF will come to your place with hedge trimmers hanging below the AR barrels instead of a 203.
