Okay, so an NDA is a Non-Disclosure Agreement. It's basically a contract where you agree not to share certain info you get, usually when you work for someone or some company, or even with the government. It's super common in military or government jobs because there's so much sensitive stuff. Like, my cousin joined the National Guard, and they had to sign one just for their deployment, even though they were just talking about basic plans!

If you break an NDA, things can get messy. I've heard stories of employees getting sued or even charged criminally, especially if national security or people’s safety is involved. Sometimes it’s big money lawsuits if it’s just a business, but with government jobs, you can lose your job or worse get prosecuted. It might even mess up your whole career. Basically, you don't want to mess with it just because you think it's "just a piece of paper." And people totally get in trouble when they overshare on social media or talk to news people without permission. Best advice? Don't mess around with an NDA if you value your job or freedom!
