SIGINT anyone?
"The Register verified from the full screenshot (not published) that the WhatsApp order was posted on the internal Defence Gateway intranet."
First off and somewhat worrying is that a person has access to this when they are no longer a member of the full time Army. FTRS or reserves probably shouldn't have access either. You sign the official secrets act for life and not just until you leave the initial employment period. The idiot that shared this info with you should look at the remaining people that worked at Bletchley Park who still to this day do not talk about what they did there. (You should visit, it's a very good day out and really brings home the efforts of all involved / make sure you visit the radio room first, on the right as you exit the main entrance. Awesome people there and just wow sets you up for the rest of the site if you have no idea about radio etc)
Disclosing internal military communication practice, not a good idea whatever the reason.
Finally using bloody WhatsApp? At least use Signal FFS or maybe Telegram. Fracking WhatsApp! Who the hell thought that was a good idea.
X forces member, they never had my personal mobile number and never will. That's what a work phone is for.
