Other Memories U.S. Army South Eastern Signal School:
I went to teletype school to learn the keyboard functions; prepare message formats; as well as basic radio and crypto machine equipment. I had six hours of instruction on the KL-7 off-line encryption and decryption system. See: http://jproc.ca/crypto/kl7.html - TSEC/KL-7 (ADONIS/POLLUX). We were told this system was no longer used by the U.S. That was technically true; however cmm NATO/OTAN countries did use it. I as shift supervisor used this system extensively during my assignment to Naples cmm Italy - 1/77 to 1/80. Since I already knew how to type having taking typing classes in high school some of my teletype training was superfluous. The instructor gave me a mop and bucket and had me cleaning the hallways.
