Mark Kay returned my call this AM. We had a great conversation. But, there is a problem. Although he could not go into detail he stated that because we are a small, (Unknown to Army contracting) company & kind of the new kid on the block, It's hard for Alverez Associates to even get an opportunity for our product promotion. He sounded frustrated and a bit depressed about this. I suggested something I have seen work. Let's go to the big bunny! Who is that you may ask? I don't know your big bunny but I know where the offices of mine are. I'm writing of course about your US Representative and Senator. I have been to their offices several times over the years and spoken to their FT staff (NOT the college kid there for a summer job or internship!). I always get a response from their Washington office and have been fortunate enough to actually have things I wanted done a couple times. Mark agreed this was a good idea. He stated he as CEO would be contacting his big bunnies on the company's behalf. I told him to bring two things to the offices with him. A copy of Mobile Trust and a copy of the June AFN article where Lt/Gen Ben Hodges is complaining about his mobile device being monitored & insecure e-mails during Operation Anaconda in Poland. Mark again agreed with me. He then asked me to report back to him how my government visits went. I promised I would. If all of do this we might get lucky. Some of our Reps are members of the Select Committee on Intelligence. Others sit on the on the Armed Services Committee.
They know COMSEC saves lives. By our efforts they will also know SFOR can plug the chink in the armor articulated by General Hodges. At this point the General doesn't even know SFOR exists!
When you do this call Mark & tell him which state you are from. That way he can check them off in hopes we get all 50. Time is of the essence. 1 July fallout monies have already been clawed back by Washington. We are now going for a one line in the FY 17 DOD appropriation that says "SFOR, Mobile Trust encryption 30,000 units" that's the number of troops under General Hodges' command who are getting the new I-Phone 6s. You have to ask yourself a question. "Who wants to be a millionaire?" I know I do and am willing to do a little work to make that happen. Are you? Now get up out of your seats. Open the window and shout. Mobile Trust can help save our soldiers lives in the next conflict! Now, you know what to do. First of course verify that this conversation took place this AM with Mark if you have any doubt it did. Then go as I am going to both your Representative's and Senator's offices and help our company out.
