I understand.
We had a Communications Compound set near the middle of the base.
Top Secret - monitoring Communist forces radio traffic from VN, Laos, Cambodia
We were only 60 miles away from Hanoi - and 10 - 12 miles from the Ho Chi Minh Trail coming down out of the mountains in Laos.
We also saw a lot of covert activity (Air America) cycling in and out of our base.
To this day there are those who still don't want to talk about it...and up until fairly recently - myself included.
You hear Nothing - You see Nothing - You know Nothing were the orders of the day.
And unless you were there you really wouldn't understand much anyway.

When I was in the DoD. I bounced around Eastern Europe, mostly Yugoslavia in the late 70's working on a few programs. There were things going on at the time with the cold war that people still don't know about and never will. Looking back on it. It felt I was in a spy movie comedy. Spy vs Spy. It did cause me to have a nice hole in my back with a little entrance wound.

Been there. My second post was Prague , Czechoslovakia. I was there for the Velvet revolution. Our special buddies included the KGB and GRU. They played some super ridiculous games including microwaving the hell out of us at night just to help us remember we weren't home.

I had an apartment on the 3rd floor. Everytime I looked out the window. I had 2 shadows sitting on a bench across the street.

When I left the apartment. I would put little pieces of paper on my door and widows. If the paper was moved. Then I knew someone had paid me a visit. Used to pull the window blinds closed at night. Hang a woman mannequin from the ceiling with a fan blowing on it to get it some movement plus a light shining on it so the shadow would be on the blinds. Then I would slip out of the apartment though the basement.

Big thing with women over there at the time was blue jeans and panty hose. Every trip over. I would have a suitcase full of that stuff for exchange.

When we hung out with the State people they would leave cigarette butts in their ashtrays. We also traded PX Levi's for crystal and swiss cutlery.
