Here's another case in point:

Okay, let's exchange resumes...

I spent 10 years in the US Air Force being first trained as a Radio
Communications Analyst/Security Specialist - AFSC 202X0. Later that
AFSC was changed to 1N4X0, Signals Intelligence Analyst. A popular joke
during my earlier career... "What's a 101?" "A half-assed 202." The
command was the Electronic Security Command (ESC), a MAJCOM at the time.

I was first stationed at the 6920th Electronic Security Group (ESG),
Misawa AB, Japan. "Missy" as command people called it. I worked as an
"Entity Analyst."

My next assignment was to the 6903rd Electron Security Group (ESG), Osan
AB, Korea. "Skivvy Nine" as the command called it.

The unit bar call: One of the members on a "Ville Run" would hold up
his glass/beer and call, "Yooo...." Everyone else in the bar who was in
the unit would stand up and do the same. Once no more people were
standing up the originator of the call would lead the group in the yell,
"Skivvy Nine! Skivvy Nine! Skivvy Nine! If you ain't Skivvy Nine, you
ain't ***!" You'd see this abbreviated on bathroom stalls in the ville
as, "IYAS9YAS!"

There my job was "Advisory and Warning Analyst" (AW).

After Skivvy Nine I went to the 6922nd Electronic Security Squadron
(ESS, the "Double Deuce"), Clark AB, Philippines. I worked as the
Senior Entity Analyst, Comfy Bath operator, Comfy House Subject Matter
Expert, Balancer Operator, Technical Reporter and Mid-Shift CQ. One Red
Horse beer would leave you drunk. Two Red Horse beers will give you the
worst hangover *ever*.

From the Philippines I went to the 48th Intelligence Squadron (IS),
Medina Annex, Kelly AFB, San Antonio, Texas. The 48th was the last
mobile unit in the command. You've never lived until you've balanced
the load on a Deuce-and-a-half to the point where it could be loaded on
a C-141 without the center-of-balance being shifted.

At the 48th I became a Sensor Pacer Operator, Tactical Reporter, Senior
Troupe operator, Constant Source SMI, ETIBS SMI (Enhanced Tactical
Information Broadcast Service), and the Flight Operations Historian.

While at the 48th I deployed to the 6975 ESS (Provisional), Riyadh AB,
Saudi Arabia. I did that deployment twice. While there I used my
Sensor Pacer, Tactical Reporter, Constant Source, and ETIBS skills.

I know what really happened during the KAL-007 shootdown (***-ups on
both sides). I sent reports that were received at the White House
within 10 minutes. I watched the first "Odd Couple" transit North Korea
on their way to Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam. I participated in the
destruction of Iraqi air and ground assets. I knew the Soviet Union was
collapsing before you did. I've been aboard both the Air Force RC-135
(Rivet Joint) and the Navy EP-3 (the intelligence collection aircraft
that went down on Hainan Island, China).

Okay, that's enough bragging about what I did in the Intelligence
Community while in the Electronic Security Command, Air Force
Intelligence Command, Air Intelligence Agency.

What did you do? What do you know that wasn't gleemed from a news paper
article? What's your expertise?

Do tell.
