    Shipmate, if you look in my post history I literally did an AMA about my profession about a month ago, and a Machinists Mate Chief even jumped in to contribute. I haven’t disclosed any ships movement, naval nuclear propulsion information or even controlled unclassified information. I keep my personal electronic devices physically far, far away from any work device, and we never cross the streams, as the saying goes.

      It’s still something that I wouldn’t tell people on the internet.

      Especially if you have family. The Chinese, the Russians, the Israelis,… you just elevated the chances that they know about you. And now they also know that you are the sharing kind. A little bit bragging.

      Don’t make yourself a target. Not the smartest thing to do.

        Sister’s in the marine corps and so is her husband. They can take care of themselves.

        I’ll take your advice into consideration. Still, you have again reminded me why I don’t feel the burden of my duty too much. The existence of such organizations only hardens my resolve to flip the switch when the time comes.

          Against Russian agents with Nowitschock or North Koreans using poison as well? I doubt that.

          You are a troll. Cannot take you and your persona serious anymore. There is not a single soldier this irrational on this world.

            A troll? Interesting. I’ll let my chief and division know. I’d invite you to visit NSB Kings Bay sometime, but you’d get denied at the front gate, let alone the marines at Checkpoint Charlie and the waterfront gate. And I’m a sailor, not a soldier. Soldiers are Army only.

              You are stating the most patriotic and naive shit here. I get the impression that you are impersonating US military personnel to paint them in a bad light.

              And now this useless statement that I should visit some Kings Bay, but I’d probably not be let in - I do not understand what you are trying to tell me here? Here in Germany you wouldn’t get into some classes at university. Let alone the building. It’s usual practice that in some organisations, entry is restricted.

                Naval Submarine Base, Kings Bay, Georgia, USA. Look it up on Wikipedia if you don’t know what that is.
