A lot of wannabee's who evidently seem to
feel COMSEC hardware is fashionable. You guys
should just enlist and join the ranks of us
who have had more than their share of messing
with KY-57's, KG-84's, DKD's, etc....and then
if you still feel the stuff is enjoyable to
work with - well, the term "masochist" comes
to mind. There are probably lurkers here who
know exactly what I mean.
Most of us with our DD-214's who used to
routinely work with COMSEC have no desire to
bring back memories of the "good old days"
and fail to see the fascination (no pun
intended), of people who seem to feel it's
cool, chic, or 3l33t to brag they have some
CCI device in their possession.
Always amazes me to see Hollywood depict a
"hacker" who routinely breaks into a secure
C4I net and download classified codes or
whatever.....yeah, real believable....we
had nation states (the former Soviet Union)
trying to do this for decades - and writers
would have us believe someone in their home
basement can crack NSA codes ? rrrriiiight..
(does "The Lone Gunmen" come to mind?)......
OPSEC, COMSEC are even more important now,
given active combat evolutions are underway.
It's irresponsible to be discussing this in
a public forum. Use common sense please.
