15 year Air Force vet and now 7 years with US Postal Service (USPS)

Are you perhaps OSI from your USAF days and now a USPS inspector/agent?

At one point for several years early in my career I worked as an investigator on behalf of various Congressional committees. At one point in the mid 1980s I worked with postal inspectors (and later with EPA federal enforcement folks) where I could stop cargo planes at the airport as they were readying for takeoff and have them unload their entire cargo (magazines on pallets) so I could count what they were shipping vs paying postage for etc. The pilots and crew hated me....lol. And in the end nobody was shorting the USPS (it was mostly an honor system) as they paid postage on more items then they shipped so they could bump their circulation figures for advertisers...

Retired Navy after 20 years ( you can guess the rank by looking at my avatar ). Started off as a maintenance guy (CTM) for SIGINT gear, but spent most of my career doing IT and offensive cyber (CTN). Now I advise the government (not that they listen) at a Big 4 company.

I did just over 20 in the Navy as two (cross-rated from O to N to avoid IT, actually) of the CT flavors. Did Comms, then some 7th Fleet deployments, two NIOCs, a tour with JSOC, and retired out of NCIS.

Worked for a year at a local area establishment as an insider threat/security operations/digital forensic guy, then played with the remote gig stuff, and now I'm just done.

Ahh, the ol' CTO to IT merger. Then they created CTN and tried to kill CTM.

Good times...good times.

I’m a doctor of feelings. I also know why you’re all so fucked up and what your mothers did to you. No Daddy will not be saying he’s proud of you. I’m the forum’s favorite psychoanalyst.

I'm an old Army guy. I don't really know what rank that is. Were you an anchor with a starfish on your head ? LOL !!

Hmm, CT's is pretty small brother/sis. Wonder if we know each other.

 

[Stiletto]

Pretty much, yeah.

Anchor = E-7 (Chief Petty Officer)
Anchor with star = E-8 (Senior ChiefPettyOfficer)
Anchor with two stars = E-9 (Master Chief Petty Officer)

So as another old Army guy I read that as E-7: no starfish, E-8: one starfish, and E-9: two starfish. Don't get me started on how to decode the random morse code on naval officer uniforms.
