Old guy back after a period of time.

Hello all,

As the header says I am an old guy.I was actually one of the first 100 who signed up when ATS began.That was along time ago and a different world for us all. I posted a lot then. but things when odd and I stayed away forgot my screen identity my login my e-mail I used etc. So here I am starting anew with my "hat in hand" asking to participate in the forums.

A little about who I am.I am retired military. I retired 20 years ago. During this time I participated in many confidential, discreet, secret activities of national security interest. All were of a secret nature. i took an oath and have never disclosed what took place to anyone.I recently learned that all secret activities and events are automatically declassified after 30 years if there is no national security threat now on the information being disclosed. It has been 31 years now.

I am also a autodidact.With a tested IQ of at least 165. I joined Mensa at age 18.
I also have a 90% comprehension and retention of all I read see hear and even smell and touch. My senses are heightened. The military knew this and I was used as a "observer" when they needed to know something and believed they were getting false information. I would go in and investigate.The closest thing I can relate to this is internal affairs in the police force.But in my case nobody was aware except my control officer.

I was in the Navy doing this.If you read in the news of a senior officer or enlisted having been relieved because of poor command climate then know that someone like me was in their command for a few weeks observing. I usually went in as a reserve doing my two weeks drill time. People are wiling to bitch and complain if they know you are leaving in a while.I was at a rank that was high enough(E-6) that both junior and senior enlisted were comfortable in talking candidly to me.Junior officers also would talk freely after a beer or two at command picnics and such.I laugh about it now because I have actually been in contact with a few I met then and they still have no clue of why I was there and why the X.O. left suddenly.

Well that is all I will talk about now.I have so much more to relate so check back on my thread here.I may not post anything in the open forum, so look here. I am going to be relating to you things that no ones has ever considered. I have such a odd ability to remember things and find correlations in other seeming random events. A Navy psychologist told me I had the ability to use both sides of my brain at the same time. I was the only person he had ever met that could do that. He mentioned I was most likely the most intelligent person not only in the Navy but the military.

Quick question if you can retain 90% of what you see and read then how come you can't remember your old screen name?

Welcome to ATS.

Hey Navy! Nice to see somebody from the inside of it.....we seldom get inside stuff on the Navy world...
Any idea if they really do have off world officers?
Or maybe you know of the shot down craft they recovere4d from the waters off los angeles in 1942?

a reply to: skalla

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought. Fits the profile doesn't it? I mean, who blows their own horn so loudly like that? C'mon.

who's Bernard?

a reply to: Stormdancer777


Bernard Schnitzel or some such spelling. He is a guy who periodically sets up an account around here under different names and posts this kind of stuff. Strings people on for pages and pages with promises of pictures of stuff and secrets that he knows, etc. and never produces a thing. This thread has his smell about it.
