Reply #17: Radfringe - true story from the first Iraq War [View All]

[Noordam]

in 98 I did a contract with the DC Metropolitian Police. The system programmer for their mainframes was a Marine in the early 70s. He worked in a special Nuc/Bio/Chem group in the Pentagon.

In the lead up to the first Iraq War, he received by special delievery(sp) this big thick package. When he opened it, there was one piece of paper and another envelope. The letter on Pentagon letterhead just said do not open second package and call this number. Well the second package would have been his recall to active Marine duty orders for the special Nuc/Bio/Chem group. He did not get called BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTttt.....
