Hey Ed!

Wouldn't think of speechifying anything but kind words toward the mod-28s.  When I was in 202 school, they used some mod-19s, and had a couple of mod-15s.  Glad we didn't have to use any of those.

I have a SP-600 in my garage.  Still works!

Hah!

When I first got to Pakistan, because I was a "speedy typer", I was assigned for a day to due a report on the IBM026, which we then converted to Five-Level (not the 8-level) tape.  Corrected it, then sent it out, NIGHTLY!

My final job was opscommer - running the Mod-28 in the S&W for Jim Lenz....what a great time!

in a good mood it would allow me to punch the tape with a minimum of errors.
If not..... I would spend many anxious minutes making corrections.

listen closely to the applause for this future technology which is already here. notice how it is portrayed as a mere "sixth sense" that will make our lives so much more easier... (no mention of WHO is inputting the data) also notice in the first vid she says it would be a wonderful thing for "it" to help make choices for us... and her very last words are even more chilling: the brain implant version of this TED technology, coming soon to a government agency near you!   reeko

It is good to hear from those who realized the problem they had.  I walked away from smoking and drinking on the same day in April 1990.  I just had had enough.  I am so glad that it turned out this way and would not like to go back to the old ways.  I only think of the things that I could have accomplished if it were not for the drinking.  Oh well, can’t do anything about the past.

Anyway, congrats to you and all who “take the road”.

I'll drink a toast with you, Lonnie, but it will be what we in Alabama call "sweet tea". After those years of listening to our "friends" in the USSR I developed a liking to alcohol that led to an addiction. After drinking myself through two marriages (and divorces) I realized that I was the problem. I was drinking myself to death and something had to be done. So I'll drink that toast with you all and ask you to drink a toast with me on January 28, 2010 when I will celebrate 24 years of sobriety.

New Year's Eve - 2009
In a few hours, another New Year's Eve will be history, and a new year will have begun. Don't know about the rest of you, but my celebration will be on the rather quiet side – a far cry from past celebrations. They say that wisdom comes with age, but I don't know about that. :)
I just celebrated my 69th birthday, now starting my seventh decade on this planet. Been a lot of places, done a lot of things, regret some of them, had one tremendous journey to reach that particular milestone.
Many of you were there with me over the years, cheating death over and over, fighting the good fight, sometimes fighting each other, waking up with a hangover, swearing never to do that again, then hoisting a few brews to celebrate the vow we had just taken.
Met a lot of good people along the way, still keep in touch with many of them, some are now soaring with the eagles, “forever on watch, forever on orbit.” Gonna join that group someday, as will we all.
But not just jet. Gonna enjoy a few more reunions, a few more holidays, a few more New Year Eves – but no more hangovers. Can't generate much of a hangover with just one beer a year. Not that I miss that part of yesteryear.
Bag drags, deadheads, cold winter flights and also blistering hot flights. From below zero at Eielson in Alaska to 120 at Cam Rahn Bayh – and everything I between. I have real data to back this up – only a gut reaction – but I think a cold flight line at Offutt AFB, Nebraska was colder than anything at Eielson.
But it was all worth it. The big bucks for AMS pay, Stan/Eval pay, gunner pay, tac op pay, super-op pay, AMT pay more than made up for the minor inconveniences of family separation, lousy in-flight lunches, Sigonella, missed children's birthdays, Dear Johns from the wife/girlfriend/ somebody else's girlfriend.. .
...and the time and a half for holidays and weekends added to the kitty.
So as the witching hour approaches, wherever you are, please join me in hoisting a beverage of your choice to welcome in another year. But more importantly, join me in a toast to those who traveled this road with us. If I put names here, the list would go on and on. But you know who you are. And there is nothing that says you can't hoist that glass to yourself.
And one more toast, more important than all the others: a toast to those wives and girlfriends who worried, watched and waited.
As a poet more eloquent than I so truthfully stated, “They also serve who watch and wait.”
Wherever you are, when the clock strikes midnight, join me.
Lonnie

More seriously, believe the Civil War is regarded as the the earliest
formal SIGINT. Believe one side (or both) put observers in, I think,
balloons so could intercept flag signals of the enemy. Think I read that
somewhere along the way. But gotta think that intercept of various kinds
of signals was practiced long before our Civil War--the War Between the
States.

When I first got to Pakistan, because I was a "speedy typer", I was assigned for a day to due a report on the IBM026, which we then converted to Five-Level (not the 8-level) tape.  Corrected it, then sent it out, NIGHTLY!

That first pic (of Chiang) is just a come-on for a recently deceased legend of San Diego County, "King Stahlman".   His T-shirts are worn all over the county.  Yes, worn by doctors, lawyers, even Indian  chiefs  . . .  oops . . .  I mean by large missionary women escorted by exotic natives -

If you mean the conflict between Europeans and the folks already here--I
have a hard time with Native American for reason that I'll try to
wrestle with later--that was a conflict of conquest. If talking about
the ties between primarily England and settlers here, my limited
knowledge of history suggests that both sides of the Atlantic were
fairly content with the status quo until the 1770s, albeit there were
probably always those on both side that were unhappy.

If you are talking about those who followed Columbus on the 'mainland'
and the "Indians", that was not a revolution but a struggle of conquest.
But 1492 was almost certainly not the beginning of that struggle. You
probably know more about this than do I, but supposedly "Indians" came
via the Bering land bridge from Asia--and, for that matter, could have,
ironically, come earlier to Asia from the Indian land mass. But when the
latest migration from Asia came, they may have conquered "natives" who
were already here.

BTW, because of Columbus reportedly having thought he had landed in
India, thus naming those already here "Indians' has always been a
problem. (I think that's nonsense--there long had been trade with India
and Columbus almost certainly knew the natives of our landmass were not
"Indians".) But 'Native Americans" is not a solution, as all of us born
here, no matter our ancestry, are native Americans. And for that matter,
were the folks that Columbus encountered really the Natives or were
they just the wave that conquered the earlier "natives'.

And bad as the continuation of slavery in the launch of the United
States of America, there was a rationale for it, no matter how horrible
that rationale was. But treatment of those already here made no sense on
any level and makes even less sense today.

Putting the "SIG" in SIGINT:
The dawn of electronic communications

 

1800s - Civil War, Spanish American War, Philippine War

During the 1800s, military commanders relied on cavalry, scouts, and reconnaissance parties for most of their tactical intelligence. Prior to Samuel F.B. Morse's invention of the electric telegraph in 1844, the military communicated with visual signals. The U.S. Army Signal Corps, formed in 1860, was responsible for these signals. In the 10 years after the invention of the telegraph its use would quickly spread across the U.S. with over 23,000 miles of telegraph wire going up prior to the start of the Civil War. Although the Signal Corps made use of this new technology it wasn't until 1867 that the electric telegraph, in addition to visual signaling, became a Signal Corps responsibility.

During the Civil War (1861-1865) neither the Union or the confederacy had a formal, high-level military intelligence service, although both engaged extensively in clandestine activities. A few of these actions were intercepting and decoding telegrams and intercepting mail. In June of 1861 the first electronic transmission of intelligence information occurred. Using a telegraph instrument aboard a captive balloon during the Battle of Fair Oaks, a Union observer reported his aerial observations of Confederate troop movements. This marked the first use of telegraphy from an airborne platform and the first air-to-ground communications of the Civil War. With the use of the telegraph the U.S. Army had for the first time an electronic Command, Control and Communications (C3) system. And, for the first time, telegraph lines were tapped and messages intercepted. Captain Anson Stager, head of the Military Telegraph Service, established in 1861, developed a cryptosystem to provide an elementary safeguard against wiretapping.

Be glad you didn't have to transcribe onto seven-level tape for the KSR-35 whose magic was to jam up and quit punching whatever you were typing, especially on longer transcripts lots of SIGINTs were lost when the 'scribe refused to try and find where the danged thing quit and re-do it all from that point (at least this scribe refused).

But I thought USAFSS was active during the Civil War. Why weren't you
there?

More seriously, believe the Civil War is regarded as the the earliest
formal SIGINT. Believe one side (or both) put observers in, I think,
balloons so could intercept flag signals of the enemy. Think I read that
somewhere along the way. But gotta think that intercept of various kinds
of signals was practiced long before our Civil War--the War Between the
States.

As a complete aside, just finished watching the History Channel series
"The Revolution" on DVD. Kinda dissappointed. Learned some things--I had
no idea how protracted the Revolution was nor the extent of hardship of
American combatants--but was disappointed at the lack of aggressive
insight into the attitudes of the Colonists. Some but not near enough.

Since we bought our house, we have discovered that there is not room on the walls for our Civil War prints.  If any of you might know of anyone that collects or any art houses that would put them on consignment, let me know.

We have the following:

 

Kuntsler’s

Confederate Christmas  629/1250

Winter Riders  1346/3000

Till We Meet Again  1452/2700

Confederate Winter  745/950

 

Trioni’s

Company D  670/750

 

I find it difficult to give up “Till We Meet Again”  since it is one with Stonewall Jackson.  My main man.

 

Billy

Special Signals

Searching From DC to Light

Gang:  The response to my earlier request (posted below) has been
tremendous!  Charlie now has fans in 35 states, four Canadian provinces,
Iraq, Japan and Germany.  I would like to add the remaining 15 states to
that list.  The lady who is behind this project sees Charlie almost
daily, and the first thing he wants to do is check the mail.  She is
also making a scrapbook for him with all the responses.  So if you are
from one of the states below, please take a moment and post a short
congratulatory note.  If you are not on Facebook, email me and I'll see
that it gets there.  Thanks much for making 2010 a very special year for
a very special person.

Got a big favor to ask.
Charlie Burkhardt is a local person with some disabilities.  Although a
45-year old grown man , his mental capacities are diminished.  At a
basketball game last week, he was honored as "Anadarko Warriors Biggest
Fan," complete with a ceremony at center court, pictures, tee-shirts, etc.
Charlie never misses a game, and is, indeed, the biggest fan.  He has
become a fixture here, and works at a local sheltered workshop.  At one
time, I was on the Board of Directors for that shop.
For those  of you on Facebook, and if you are so inclined, I'm
requesting that you join that group.  We are a diverse group spread all
over the US.
For those not on Facebook, send an email to me addressed to Charlie and
I'll copy them and see that he gets them.

Appreciate it, and thanks much.

Lonnie

We'd win for sure if they were both deployed!
 
Tom,

 

Which one gets deployed?
