Do you work for your government? Tell us a story!

Hi all


I am currently looking for ideas for a piece of writing I am doing. It's nothing big, just for fun.

And what better place to get inspiration than on ATS.


Basically, I am hoping that there are some members on here who do/have work/ed at their governments or local authority. It would be even better if we have any CIA/FBI/Mi6 or Higher ranking military guys.


The reason I am looking is because I want to hear some stories from you!! You DO NOT have to give anything secret away, such as names and places, but as much as possible without damaging yourself too much.



I hope you can help!

I worked for Northrup Grumman for a while on a DoD contract at a Navy Base, nothing special

Yes I used to work for the Australian Government, and I became a caffeine addict.

I was a storeman for a Government loading dock, and every time a truck came in to get unloaded, all the people who smoked would rush outside and spark-up. When the driver would approach the loading dock, I was the only idiot left standing because I didn't smoke. Later I realised if I had a coffee in my hand then the driver would let me finish it, but before I would finish my coffee one of the smokers would come back into the dock thinking that I had already started unloading, and the driver would finally catch a victim.

My philosophy back then was "Why do today, what you can put off till tomorrow".

I work for the DOD. I now who killed Kennedy and those weren’t weather balloons in Roswell.......I already said to much..... J/K

Hey I got another story for you but it's not about me, and I don't even know if it's true.

There is a certain facility in a certain location which I cannot name, which seemed to have major electrical fault. The electricians were called and a senior electrician turned up with an apprentice sparky in tow. They traced the fault to an underground junction box and upon inspection decided that the rain had caused the problem on account that the junction box was filled up with mud. So they did all the necessary disconnections, tested the pit for a current and found that it was dead, so the apprentice jumped into the pit and started shoveling the dirt out. After about 5 minutes he came to an exposed cable...The senior sparky tested it again to see if it was alive, but there was no current flowing through it.....The apprentice thought he would play a joke on his boss and grabbed the cable with both hands and started convulsing vigorously, so his boss picked up the shovel and hit him.

I work as a ninja assassin for the shadow government.

Remember Pope John Paul? yea, that was me. I am such a good assassin that I made it look like old age.

Keep em coming guys thanks!
