Hippies break into nuclear plant

The military needs more Tiger Teams to find the weaknesses & get 'me fixed. I used to do that sort if thing on an OPFOR Team, but each time we'd win (we ALWAYS won) we'd get tighter & tighter restrictions on our method of operations.

That sounds like just about the coolest job ever...

It was a volunteer additional duty. It takes what I like to call a "larcenous mind" to do it right. It helped that I could legally go into all but a couple of the restricted areas (thanks to my real job & my official augmented duty in vehicle ops/port ops) -so when we had to break into a place I was actually legal. Had a guy on our team who had been on a team for Patrick AFB & Cape Canaveral Air Station. The stories he told of wading through the croc infested tunnels in/around the Cape were awesome.

Well, you can't make the security look THAT bad... You really gotta be careful when you're opfor, you might hurt somebody's feelings!

It wasn't just SF (Security Forces... Back then it was still Security Police) we aggressed against. We nailed the hospital and CE the worst. Lots of hurt feeling - especially when my little Radio Shack walkie-talkie type radios were able to eavesdrop on their planning comm's. They couldn't figure out how we always knew what they were going to do. We got tighter & tighter restrictions until we thought we were defeated - until we found the storm sewer lines coming from where they insisted we come at them from and travelled right through the middle of their camp - with manholes inside their tents. Used big fat permanent red markers as "knives" to slit their throats, Kool-aid or food coloring to "poison" their water buffaloes, etc.

Damn those were some fun times! It's fun playing the bad guy when you know you won't get in real trouble and no one gets hurt.

Too much to type up. Perhaps at a gathering - gonna try to make the Aug 25 get together.
