National Tartan Day on NSA Calendar

[Truitt]

Very cool challenge coin. May I forward this picture to the NSA History folks? And would you have any more details you would like to provide?

I wouldn't mind if you used the picture, but I must confess I got lazy and borrowed it from Google images so it really isn't my picture to share. I will PM you about sending you some high-res pictures of my coins.

Not much to share in details But I spent my entire military career in NSA-funded positions. My first duty station was RAF Chicksand (now closed) working jointly for NSA and GCHQ. And I retired from active duty in 2002, the year of NSA's 50th anniversary.

But back to the original topic - I am still impressed that you managed to cut through the red tape and get National Tartan Day on thier calendar! That is fantastic.

So far as red tape, I put in a calendar request. I got an email asking "Who is sponsoring this event?" I replied "Congress and the President" referencing the House and Senate resolutions and the Presidential Proclamation. The next thing I hear is an automated email telling me the status of the event has been changed to "Approved", and sure enough, there it is on the calendar.

Before working for the VA, I worked for a company that had my closest office in Atlanta (I live in North Carolina), which was bad enough. When they moved the office to Columbia, Md. and I had to negotiate the Beltway from time to time, that really sucked.

I'm unaware if the FAA has an Agency calendar. I'll have to check into that.
