Question for twittersphere: Has anyone heard of government agencies, particularly the army or navy, having their employees/personnel sign non-disclosure agreements?

They didn’t have to bc they had 18 USC making it illegal to reveal classified info, and they just had to classify what they didn’t want known.

They have certain basic rights, freedom of speech, given obvious restrictions, is one of them. Black Ops is a totally different animal. But, NDA is Trumps only way of keeping his behavior secret.

Yes. It’s one of the impediments to veterans with PTSD getting proper mental health care. In certain circumstances they are not allowed to talk about the events that caused the trauma.

I signed a NDA today but as a proofreader/editor. (OK, R, not at all what you were asking.)

1. Military justice is a mess. The UCMJ allows soldiers, sailors and Marines to be prosecuted under Articles 133 and 134: ‘conduct unbecoming an officer’, and ‘conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline’. -- Which can mean anything.

2. Adultery is prosecuted. Being late for work can be a crime ('dereliction of duty'). So can saying nasty things about the President (who is, after all, commander-in-chief, and so much for free speech). If they have no formal NDAs, it's only because they don't need them.

Outside of the US, civil servants in the UK, Canada, Ireland, Singapore and some other countries are subject to their country's respective Official Secrets Acts.
