And, then there were the many trips with the boss to far and distant places (which we were not allowed to speak about).</p> <p>One of my jobs when I worked the house - because I also worked at Mt Weather (the alternate White House) and Camp David, was to chage the cards in the KY1 Crypto machine. I did more with it than change the code daily which I was trained to do at NSA (Naval).</p> <p>We also had our share of _middle of the night_ exercises and Ike was often there.</p> <p>There was some speculation that there was also a nuclear submarine which served as a wartime National Command Authority Platform to provide long-term survivability and shelter for the President during an attack. But, that was just speculation.</p> <p>After the White House I had overseas assignments and in the 60s I was assigned to the War Room in the Pentagon where I did pretty much the same thing I did at the White House, but for the Chiefs of Staff. While there they continued to use the KO6 voice crypto which was not computerized yet and there was a rumor that there was something new. I saw much of the new computer equipment at the Pentagon and it was still pretty crude and needed the vacumn tubes constantly replaced to keep them running. I left before new equipment arrived. Later on I was to experience war and it convinced me that this kind of work should be about peace. I made it a point to oppose war when I got out of the army but not before I went to Israel for the Yom Kipper War. That is a long story which I can't really talk about here but I was influenced by what I saw and it made me more of a supporter of Israel - which I realized was under constant threat and Israelis lived in a very bad neighborhood.
