Hello All!

Stumbled onto the site when I googled my former security clearance.
I'm a US Army Signal Corps Veteran, served from 1970 to 1980 - worked in the AUTODIN network with a TopSecret/SIOP-ESI clearance.

I've always been a curious varmint, and enjoy discussing every topic I've seen while doing a quick browse of the site.

As I get older, I have become more suspicious and more vigilant - as Fox Mulder was fond of saying "Trust No One"!

Glad to be here, and hopefully I'll be able to dive into some meaningful discussions!!

Hello. Welcome aboard and thank you for your service to our country.

Explanation: Flagged!

Personal Disclosure: Welcome! OL is sure a mod will be along soon to help out with an informative post etc. I recommend utilizing the pink chat voyuer faunction on the ATS tool bar to the far right of most ATS webpages! It will enable you to watch who and what is being posted in chat but unfortunately you wont be able to join or chat back until your post count reaches 100 posts or so.

Reply to this post with the reply function up top right of this post and that'll be another post towards your mandatory 20 posts before you can start your own threads

Please message me using the message button on far left ATS tool bar if you require any further help whatsoever!

Peace and much love!

Sincerely OL [OmegaLogos]

So, in your opinion, are things as dire and bad as we think? Without getting yourself into trouble, I would love to hear more.

Hello and welcome! I look forward to your contributions on the board.

Can´t wait to read your thoughts.

From a newbie to another...welcome

I think the governments of the world really need to start vetting the people they allow to handle their classified information because allot of people are coming on ATS saying “I have DV vetting” or “I have top secret vetting” or “ I am ex special forces”. It could be I suppose that none of these people have ever even filled out any type of confidentiality agreement.

But welcome to ATS!

Yes, I do think the situation today is dire.
My "agreement" expired back in 1980 -
