Whats the penalty for injuring yourself chasing bballs when your country needs you ? total disregard for the greater good of all Americans ! Are we to believe you can hobble around entire neighborhoods with your walker ? I'm so flabbergasted I can't safely comment any further !

I have use of a vehicle to get around, as well as I have a cane I can use.

I am slowly getting strength back in my knee, I know, from a test yesterday, that I can get up & down stairs with the assistance of my cane.

I do believe you're mixing your oaths up. As the oath you're almost quoting word for word is the Scout Oath.

It's cool to think that 100 years ago, that Scouting in the US came to be.

Scout Oath:

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

The Oath that a Census Employee takes before even starting with training is below:

"I will not disclose any information contained in the schedules, lists, or statements obtained for or prepared by the Census Bureau to any person or persons either during or after employment."
