The NSA has literally everything.

The NSA was part of my peripheral life since when I was about 10 (I'm almost 68 now). My dad was an clergyman and rector of a parish near Fort Meade; many of his congregation were NSA employees of varying levels and skills. He told me once yrs later that he spent a crazy amount of time talking to guys doing background checks on people in his church. I didnt know shit from 1st base then but our family would go to weekend bbqs and such and hang out with these people, normal stuff to me, our dad would make comments on the way home to our mom suggesting the spookism there was thick today or things to that effect. That confused me first time I heard him say that word (but he explained it to me). I grew up and went to school with alot of their kids, who had often moved to town at some point from an overseas post somewhere. I recall 1 family up the street with 3 boys - one my age, who came back from the UK speaking full-on brit bc theyd been there so long during the yrs when leaning to talk. Their family car was a Vauxhall Victor. Pretty weird to think about all that now. Also, there was one NSA bldg alongside the B-W Parkway that you could see from the road, at Christmas time they would leave selected office lights on in there at night to spell NOEL.
