Howard: Are you a veteran?
Just curious. I think even the most zealous Wavoid will acknowledge that I have established that as a part of my personal history over the past five years. U.S. Army, 1967 to 1968. Two Christmases in Vietnam. MOS 05c20 (radio). Secret "crypto" clearance (which is where I first became interested in cryptography). Spec 5. Conscript. etc., etc.
Of course, certain Wavoids will not be above suggesting I manufactured this history. (Apparently in a plan I devised five years ago so that I could later set up dual aliases as HhH and HbG.)
