Hey ufology, as a matter of fact Don Ecker, Greg Bishop and the late Kevin Smith were all sent my credentials: DD214 and a pay stub from the FBI. Skeptic hero Lance Moody also received a copy of my DD214. If you have any further questions about my employment, you may contact AFOSI headquarters. My last commander was LtCol James McDonough, AFOSI Detachment 101, WPAFB. My badge number was 1911. My first OSI commander was Richard Smith, LA AFB, Detachment 110. I am a Captain, USAF Reserve, Inactive. My commissioning date was 19 Nov 1993. My FTO was Capt John Anderson. My partner in Los Angeles was SA James Martin, AFOSI (Capt USAF). I did not have a partner, as such, at WPAFB, because I was Chief of the Counterespionage Operations Branch, Det 101 -- except those 179 days I was deployed to the AFOSI detachment of the 4404 WING at Prince Sultan AB, Al Kharj, KSA. While there, my first detco was SA Steve Runyan, my second was SA Pete Courtney. I served for 45 days as the OIC of the Wing Force Protection Cell, a slot for a Major which I held as a First Lieutenant, by the way.
My ex-wife Laura Eimiller is the spokesperson for the Los Angeles Field Office of the FBI -- incidentally the same field office where I began my federal service on 14 March 1988 as a GS-3 Mail Clerk. About 45 days later, I was promoted to Evidence Technician. About three months later, I was promoted to Investigative Specialist after being sent through a counterintelligence ops course at Quantico. From that point forward, my CI career began. If you care to do FOIA, maybe the FBI will tell you the names of my supervisors there. Make sure you dig into the Los Angeles Field Office, the San Francisco Field Office, the Baltimore Field Office and the New York Field Office, as those were the cities I was assigned to. I ended my time with the FBI as a Language Specialist, Russian, to enter active duty with the USAF and serve as Special Agent AFOSI.
What I did after the air force, from 1999 to 2006, was personnel anti-terrorism security and collections as a private contractor in Europe (E and W), the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa, South America and the Philippines. My sources are out of the country right now. One is a chief of a security team for DOS in Afghanistan, the other is aboard ship performing anti-piracy services for commercial shipping. I am presently a licensed private investigator in California. My resume contains all the specialized training I've received over the years, including much that would excite your conspiratorial heart. If you like, I can tell you thing about specific places in Kabul, Bogota, Khartoum, Amman, Sarajevo, Manila, Mosul, Basra, Islamabad, Karachi, Tel Aviv, etc etc as I experienced them.
Snowden is not what he is presented to be, is my take on him. But I'm not 'inside' any more so I am not privy to the case file nor the briefings, so I'd be rather ignorant to comment with any certainty beyond that.
Whatever I was told about Echelon, I have no need to remember, so no comment there.
Are you serious about your third question? It's called 'double agentry' and it was what I was branch chief of at WPAFB from Mar 1996-April 1999. Yes such material is passed. You'll find that fact in various open source publications since World War 2.
Again, ask Lance Moody, Don Ecker and Greg Bishop if they've seen my credentials. Kevin just died, so he won't be able to help you.
