Let me tell you, NDAs for military and emergency workers are seriously strict. My friend's stepdad works at a hurricane command center, and he couldn’t even tell us what shift he was on during a busy storm week! It feels over the top sometimes, but there’s kind of a reason. People in the National Guard or working with weather data have access to plans and info that could cause major panic or be misused, you know? If the wrong person leaks where troops are going, it could put people in real danger. And with storms, if stuff gets out too soon or without being checked, the public could freak out, or the info could just be wrong and make things worse.

So yeah, it can feel extreme and unfair, but I get why it’s there. Sometimes, though, I think it goes too far. Like, if you can’t even share safe, basic details, it can make your own family stressed out. Still, most people just follow the rules because the risk is too big. It's definitely strict, but I kind of get both sides.
