Hey Gazrock, you mentioned the snack bar and nickname. Is this a question you know the answer to and await his response to validate his claim, or are you just curious?
The spelling... heh... my father occupies...a very interesting position at LM, and the spelling and grammar were not unlike his own in emails. I myself am a technician doing support for a number of high profile engineers in the defense and aerospace industry, and some of them can't manage to string together a coherent sentance, much less be bothered with spelling and grammar... literary acumen is simply not a requirement of most jobs, even those requiring sensitive information
I'm surprised he didn't use the words "Eyes Only" or "EO" documents instead of Top Secret

I wonder if our fathers know each other! Who knows, maybe they even pass each other on the old retina scanner every day!!! My father works on the Raptor project at LM in Marietta, GA. Of course, that's about all I know as far as what he does there, hehe.... To be perfectly honest, I don't even know his exact security clearance type.

...I do agree though, that EO would have been more believable, but it's not unreasonable to believe that he was simply being more general with terminology. I'm willing to keep an open mind, but not a blind one...

something ive learned over the years to pick up women, be very vague. Go to a bar in a black suit, tie, good haircut, so on and so forth, if someone asks what you do, id say that i do contracts, import/export sort of stuff. Flash the cash like most grandmothers show the pics of their new grandchild, and never say what you do, other than contract work...
...Tell me guys, youve never done or at least thought about doing it with a woman? some guys would rather feel like a big shot with many, than a big shot with a hottie.

I believe he's worked on parts of the JSF project as well (likely with the autopilot systems), so it's possible. Doesn't seem like they'd have done more than shake hands though perhaps, hehe...

Good luck with the future career....the pay is pretty damn good. Wish I had things to do over again, I would have likely gone that route...I was just so flip-floppy as to what I'd do in college....
