I found out about this just before I went off to the military, back in June/July 2005.

I was doing some work up at the airport on St. Simons Island GA, and got nosy and wanted to check out the hangar that was seemingly custom built at the last minute for the G8 summit. The G8 of course was already packed up and gone by this time, and I had already finished up for the day.

I walked inside the hangar, and was admiring the chrome leading edges on the giant aircraft before me. I'm used to doing chrome and aluminum therefore very aware of how tedious it is to keep the oxidation out and the shine bright. I thought nothing of it and walked over to the mens room (which was also nice and my duty to christen it).

I thought, "I wonder what's in that other room." Which looked like a kitchen. Yep. It was a kitchen. Sitting on the kitchen table, was an autographed pic of a certain Hollywood star that frequents St. Simon's. I haven't ran into this person, although my father had so I thought that the colossal iron falcon in the hanger was probably his.

I walked back out and bumped into this guy who quickly asked what I was doing. I told him I was rummaging through everyone's stuff while they were out and asked if he wanted in, smirking to clearly let him know I was joking.

He kept a straight face and whispered, "You're checking it out, huh?"
I replied, "Yeah, is that what I think it is? Is it flying out soon?" Hoping I could meet the actor before he left.
"This is one of those things you don't discuss, ok?"
I said "Oh, yeah, I totally understand. I'm not going to disrespect someones privacy. I was just curious if..."
"It's best not to be curious, ya know?"
I said absolutely nothing after that, as I was a little annoyed that this guy was being so frigging anal about a regular here just because he was an actor, but I let it go.
I started to walk off when he snapped a quick "Aey!"
I turned back towards him.
"I'm sure you could just PUNCH A NUMBER get most info round here, right?"
"Yeah, sure. Take it easy."

I easily remembered the N# as it was just numbers, and yanked my girlfriend over to show her that I was checking out the plane of one of her favorite stars.
"Check this out, he was up there today. I wanna see if he's got a log or something." Being nosy again.
Google retrieved some broken sentences that turned her blue.
N44982... CIA... secret... torture... terror...
I freaked just seeing her freak as she hit the floor and switched off the surge protector.

That guy wasn't / isn't the only one who avoids discussing this thing, pretty much anyone who had encountered it there (as it frequents there) acts like they're gonna get blackbagged for mentioning it.

If that's the case, I'm skreewd. I got some more to tell about it as again I got curious after I got shipped to basic training, but I better see if this is a dead / lifeless topic or not first.

It seems that you came face to face with one of our nations dirty Littler secrets.

But is not so secret after all, you can find information on the aircraft in the internet with not problem at all.

WELL, the story doesn't end there...


Here's what I thought maybe you guys would be more interested in.


BTW, I wrote this down word for word in my notebook maybe 20 mins after it happened.

On 1-5 day in basic at Great Lakes, I was in a class where we were learning about different types of US NAVY COMBAT AIRCRAFT AND THIER DESIGNATION NUMBERS / LETTERS. After we went through the entire list, I grew some gonads and raised my hand, well aware that I'd be sweating hard for the next few hours however content that I would walk away a bit more knowledgeable. In the room were the Petty Officer and Master Chief.

PO - "Stand Up Recruit!"

ME - tands quick

ME - "PETTY OFFICER! SEAMAN RECRUIT FORCE RESPECTFULLY
REQUESTING PERMISSION TO ADDRESS THE MASTER CHIEF!"
(there was a cold, dead, silence.)

MC - "GO, NOW!"

(now I was terrified as I had to ask this question LOUDLY in the face of the man who was the key to whether I got through boot camp or boot camp got through me)

ME - "MASTER CHIEF SIR! HOW WOULD SEAMAN RECRUIT FORCE CLASSIFY A MILITARY CRAFT WHOSE DESIGNATION 'NINA FOUR FOUR NINER EIGHT TWO' ASSUMES A CIVILIAN VEHICLE SIR!"

At this point, I was sweating as if I had already hit the deck and I could feel my pulse in my eye sockets.

He slowly walked up to me (REALLY SLOWLY) and stopped 2 inches from my face. I thought he was going to scream in my face until my scalp peeled away. Instead, he said in a very soft, childlike innocent voice lightly infused with gung ho,

"Seaman Recruit Force, being reasonably jarred by such a situation, would carry on assuming it was a civilian vehicle as it clearly displayed unless Seaman Recruit Force's goal here at recruit training command was to join the enemy Seaman Recruit Force is that your goal here SEAMAN RECRUIT FORCE TO AID ENEMY FORCES IN THE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR FAMILY SEAMAN RECRUIT FORCE? YOUR BROTHERS SEAMAN RECRUIT FORCE???YOUR DAUGHTERS AND YOUR OWN MOTHER SEAMAN RECRUIT FORCE??????????? IS THAT YOUR GOAL SEAMAN RECRUIT FORCE?!?!?!!"

ME - "NO SIR MASTER CHIEF!" (waiting for the asskicking of all time)

MC - (sweating profusely from his rage, staring at me with primeval stare)
".......of course not. You don't strike me as the type.... Seaman Recruit Force."

(And still as he was walking away, hands rested behind his back)

MC - "............Force....Force.....Force.....Seaman Recruit Force.........."
