And they wanted a...
that would tie the intelligence computers of 12 different countries together to get them talking to each other.
And each country has a different language and different setup for their intelligence and all that.
So the offer was made to one other sergeant and myself
And I got the job.
The other sergeant wanted it.

And when the day came to show it to the commanding generals of the 12 different countries, they
They were all gathered in the room and I went to the bathroom to, you know, I had everything all set up.

And this other sergeant was at the back door.
