The only way the company would likely discover that a crew member was posting his or her thoughts online from<br> the ship would be if the captain actually read outgoing emails since there is no Internet access on my ship. This would surely be unfortunate and an invasion of privacy but still within the limits of the masters authority. I certainly forsee in the future a revision to the SMS binders prohibiting my activities and sharing my personal view with the maritime community while at work. I guess that's another reason I have an iPhone. As a mariner blogging from sea the prospect of being reprimanded by the company is very probable.

Isn't blogging about policies and issues effecting, or could potentially effect, good order and discipline the same as running to the press (in uniform) and expressing your opinion, anonymous or not? Questioning leadership should be off limits by those in service in such an open forum such as a blog.
