Cpl Shane Cunningham- While working at a Battalion S-2, and then later at a Division level G3, I often had to bite my tongue about operations and information that might have made a job easier, but was above the clearance of the individuals involved. As a security manager I had to drill the same into the rest of the G3 staff. It was not the easiest job, and I was on the carpet a couple of times for other Soldier's mistakes.

Almost like in the 80's and 90's in Europe. The AFN commercials were always talking about OPSECT and make sure of what you say, because Boris could be listening. Forget about what the Job or MOS is, it is one of those things, that if you have a need to know, then you will know. I could have a conversation with anyone and still not talk about anything that would have to do with intel. It was always, "How was your day?" and the answer was Good, Bad or indifferent. Conversation can happen, but the trick is to know when you are being asked the wrong type of questions and you deflect or steer the conversation in another direction.

Cpl Shane Cunningham As a crypto guy, I would regularly shake my head at the disparity between what I'd see coming across my desk and what the news was reporting. So I've bitten my tongue plenty, back in the day anyway.
