FOUO is below confidential. Public dissemination of FOUO documents is annoying to the government. Public dissemination of confidential documents can actually do potential harm to national security. FOUO information can be viewed without a need-to-know. Confidential cannot.
Here's what the Army's regulation on Information Management (AR 25-55) says on the release of For Official Use Only (FOUO) classified information:
The unauthorized disclosure of FOUO records does not constitute an
unauthorized disclosure of DoD information classified for security
purposes. Appropriate administrative action shall be taken, however,
to fix responsibility for unauthorized disclosure whenever feasible,
and appropriate disciplinary action shall be taken against those responsible.
It does not constitute the treason some people here are hand-wringing about.
The people that find the ASVAB hard are not the ones who are going to be involved in deciphering any coded messages. It requires a score in the mid- to high-90s to get a job as some sort of MI analyst and anyone who scores that did not think the ASVAB was a challenge at all.
