I FOUND MY PERSONAL MILITARY 201 FILE.

REVIEWING MY PERSONAL OLD MILITARY 201 FILE.

I didn't realize I still had my old 201 file. I have been reviewing it and while it contains a great deal of information, none of it has any of my classified work. There is however a great deal of unclassified information in it, including several of my Letters of Appreciation, Awards, and even some of my performance reviews. Oh yes! it includes my Graduation Certificates from several of my teletype and cryptographic schools.

I will be talking some more about what the file contains, as well as what it does not contain.

While reviewing my 201 file, I realized none of my certificates of completion or graduation documents are in the file. Why! because they are all classified Top Secret, Eyes Only information, so I could not remove them from the Vault at ASA Headquarters. After all these years since I left the ASA, those documents are either destroyed or filed in a secure vault somewhere underground.
They would not have been stored at the St. Louis, Missouri Military Records facility, because of their clearance level.

Over a total of 15 years with the ASA I attended and completed over 21 courses covering advanced electronics, advanced math, logistics, and computer programming. Add to this courses in advanced design of cryptographic electronic circuits, and you can understand why I was so successful when I left the ASA and went into the civilian electronics field. It turns out that the education, training, and experience gained from the ASA put me anywhere from 5 to 10 years ahead of what was being used in the civilian electronics field.

After leaving the ASA, I was recruited to work in the Propaganda Warfare Department while still working for the Department of Defense. I was made the manager of a project which involves designing and building a Helicopter Transportable 50,000 watt Propaganda Warfare Broadcasting Station.

I have written a separate article concerning this work.

After this project was completed, I decided to go to work in the civilian electronics industry.

God Bless from the ga hillbilly.
