In my last story I shared that I, Air Force, was embedded with a platoon of Infantryman from the 101st in Afghanistan. In one of the comments I shared that I do secret squirrel shit. For the non-military reader, secret squirrel shit means my job was doing classified stuff that the majority of the world will never know. I will not share the extent of what I did while deployed or while I was in the military. This story is about how the infantrymen used their imagination to keep what I did a secret. As always, thank you for reading my stories.
After a couple of month's embedded with the infantry, many of the "joes" were able to figure out, in a general sense, what it was I did. It was kind of hard to hide what I did 100% from the joes when they were 2.5 feet away from me. They didn't know all the in and outs of what I was doing, but knew enough that the term loose lips sink ships applied. The joes would come up to me and my teammate trying to learn more about what we did so they could help out. It got to the point that I showed a video of terrorists exploiting what I did and created a house borne IED, killing or maiming an entire platoon of infantrymen. At the end of the video, we told them to never talk about what we did and if anybody asks why there is Air Force embedded with them, to make something up. I knew they took it seriously a few weeks later.
A Forward Operating Base (FOB) not to far from us came under attack and was well coordinated. A little to well coordinated. The next day my teammate and myself are called in and we get briefed that the attack was coordinated from an Afghan National Army (ANA) troop from within the FOB and we were going to get flown out there, with a squad of infantrymen, to find this troop.
We fly out there, talk with the FOB commander, and figure out a plan on what we were going to do to find this guy and what we needed from the commander and his people. Long story short, All the ANA troops stood outside, about 6 feet apart. My teammate started at one end and walking in front of the troops while I started on the other end walking behind the troops. We both would pause in front of the troop we thought was behind the attacks. We would then isolate him to confirm. We found him, he was arrested, and we were thanked for doing our jobs.
Before we left, the FOB commander invited us to get some chow before leaving. All the joes were sitting together chatting while myself and my teammate sat off to the side. We still weren't "coo

I’m contracted to go in as CTR next year, if I wasn’t color blind it would have been IS. 90 on the ASVAB. I feel like I’ve always had a big capacity to learn and after letting my grades slip Senior year I want to use my head for something meaningful - the big stuff. Is it possible to get into things like special projects, CI/HUMINT, and agencies starting as an enlisted CTR?
