They had me doped into a stupor for a over a year and only obviously after I saw – literally – the proper sign did my attitude change. I did start to declare that I have a different identity and I wrote about my suspicions. I suspected my identity diverged at some point and I suspected I was working with a secret identity. I even told the psychiatrist at the VA hospital about my suspicions. I told him I started thinking my real name was Thomas Ray. And so for many years after that point in the year 2006 I was about 85% certain that I might be Thomas Ray. I was still maintaining my legal identity of Kerry Burgess but I was confused about why I was thinking I was a completely different person. A person who is still just based on thoughts in my mind to this very day but that I am convinced is a real person.
I just couldn’t understand why I am not as tall as he is. We look almost identical in appearance but he is several inches taller than I am. And driving me even more crazy is that if I was the real Kerry Wayne Burgess – the United States Marshal – then I should have a gunshot wound scar on my left shoulder.
So I am not as tall as Thomas Ray and I do not have the scar on my shoulder.

I actually hope to go back to the Navy and, if I have a choice, work on space exploration research and development. I want to find out what has been done to prepare for the future when space commerce is a reality. There is probably going to be a point when someone discovers something distant to our planet that we subsequently become dependent on, such as a new energy source, is the first example I think of. The problem is that as long as the ultra-greedy type such as Bill Gates exists on this planet, we are going to need a Navy to protect commercial interests. Any ship transporting material from a distant source to our planet would be easy pickings for the Bill Gates type. Why invest 500 billion to build mining ships and facilities when you can build an armed space ship for 20 billion and take over the cargo of the mining ships. I don't know what the actual ratios will be, but that is basically how it will work out in one possible scenario. The mining companies will be responsible for much of their individual security but I think the Navy needs to be prepared for those days as well.

UNITED STATES NAVY
Navy Establishes Four New Ratings
Story Number: NNS170201-05 Release Date: 2/1/2017 11:20:00 AM
From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy announced Wednesday the establishment of four new ratings for active duty Sailors, yeoman submarine (YNS), logistics specialist submarine (LSS), culinary specialist submarine (CSS) and fire controlman Aegis (FCA) in NAVADMIN 021/17.
This realignment was made to improve management of ship manning and personnel inventory for both the Surface and Submarine ratings.
The new ratings will be effective:
- Sept. 2, 2017, for E-6
- Oct. 17, 2017, for E-7 through E-9
- Nov. 28, 2017, for E-1 through E-5
Sailors serving as Aegis fire controlman and yeoman, logistics specialist, culinary specialist submarine Sailors will be converted to their applicable service ratings by enlisted community managers with no action needed from the member.
The new ratings are for active duty Sailors and billets and will not be applied to the reserve component. Additionally, there will be no changes to Sea/Shore flow resulting from the new ratings.
An advancement exam will be created for each new service rating. The first E-7 exam for these ratings will be given in January 2018. For E-4, E-5 and E-6 exams for these new ratings will be given in March 2018.

SUBJ/ESTABLISHMENT OF YEOMAN (SUBMARINE), LOGISTICS SPECIALIST (SUBMARINE),
CULINARY SPECIALIST (SUBMARINE) AND FIRE CONTROLMAN (AEGIS) SERVICE RATINGS//
REF/A/DOC/JUL16//
AMPN/REF A IS NAVPERS 18068F, MANUAL OF NAVY ENLSITED MANPOWER AND
PERSONNEL CLASSIFICATION AND OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS, VOLUME I, NAVY
ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION (NECS).//
RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN establishes the Yeoman (Submarine) (YNS), Logistics
Specialist (Submarine) (LSS), Culinary Specialist (Submarine) (CSS) and Fire
Controlman (Aegis) (FCA) service ratings. These establishments are primarily
administrative in nature and are expected to minimally impact the fleet. In
line with reference (a), YNS, LSS and CSS service ratings are warranted
because specialized skills, as well as specific areas of qualifications, have
been identified for personnel onboard submarines separate from their
respective general ratings. The FCA service rating is warranted because
specialized skills, as well as specific areas of qualifications, have been
identified for personnel that serve as FCA separate from the general Fire
Controlman rating. These establishments will permit optimum management and
utilization of personnel, and economy of training. Additional value will be
gained for manpower, personnel, training and education because these new
service ratings establish new rating control numbers that will augment
current manpower programs, ultimately decreasing inventory inaccuracies.
These new service ratings will only apply to active- duty (excluding Full-
Time Support) Sailors and billets.
2. The establishment of the service ratings will be effective on the
following schedule:
a. 2 September 2017 for E6
b. 17 October 2017 for E7-E9
c. 28 November 2017 for E1-E5
3. The primary personnel and billets to receive the new service rating will
be as follows:
a. Yeoman, Logistics Specialists, and Culinary Specialists serving with
a designator code of 1, 2, or 8.
b. Fire Controlman serving with the following NECs:
1091, 1093, 1094, 1095, 1097, 1104, 1107, 1111, 1112, 1113,

1391, 1392, 1395.
4. The establishment of these service ratings will not require a uniform or
rating badge change.
5. A Navy-Wide Advancement Examination will be created for each service
rating which will improve the Navy advancement centers ability to identify
and distinguish between the most knowledgeable candidates in the surface and
submarine service ratings. The new rating exam content and structure will be
aligned with work-center tasks, equipment, tools, and technologies. The
first E4/5/6 exams will be March 2018 with the first E7 exam in January 2018.
6. There will be no changes to the E7 and E8/9 evaluation and selection
board processes. Current policies exercised will continue unaltered.
7. There will be no changes to sea/shore flow. Current policies exercised
will continue unaltered.
8. This NAVADMIN does not implement any changes for Commander, Navy
Recruiting Command. Current business rules exercised will continue
unchanged.
9. This NAVADMIN does not modify any previous guidance concerning early
separation, Fleet Reserve, conversion packages, or career waypoints
reenlistment requests.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
CORONA: America's First Imaging Satellite Program
The 1950s was a time of great uncertainty for the US regarding the Soviet Union's budding strategic nuclear forces. Although the US knew the Soviets had ambitious programs to develop and deploy intercontinental-range ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and bombers, the US knew little about the scope or success of Soviet efforts. The US frequently sighted Soviet strategic bombers and had evidence of Soviet missile test programs but lacked the means to get a comprehensive look at overall Soviet strategic deployments—the US did not know how many operational ICBMs and bombers the Soviets had and where they were deployed. The US Intelligence Community reflected this uncertainty in wild overestimates of Soviet bomber and missile production—the so-called "bomber gap" and "missile gap"—and forecast that the US was falling behind in the nuclear arms race and in real danger of nuclear attack.
Between 1956 and 1960, imagery from 24 U-2 photoreconnaissance aircraft missions over the Soviet Union opened up a crack in the Soviets' armor, but the crack was a small one and it closed before a single ICBM base could be found. President Eisenhower halted all U-2 overflights of the USSR when the Soviets shot down an American U-2 and captured its CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers near Sverdlovsk on May 1, 1960.
The CORONA Program began as a joint CIA-Air Force effort in the late 1950s. Cloaked in secrecy, it was known to the public as a scientific research program named DISCOVERER. The program’s goals were daunting: launch a large camera into earth orbit, photograph specific points and areas on the earth’s surface, parachute a capsule of exposed film to earth, snag the capsule in midair over the Pacific Ocean, develop the film, and search the images for answers to the nation’s pressing intelligence questions. Many things could go wrong—and did. The first 13 missions failed to return any useable imagery. Unsuccessful launches, orbits not achieved, camera malfunctions, spacecraft errors, and missed recoveries plagued the program.
Finally, on August 18, 1960, all systems on CORONA Mission XIV operated successfully! This remarkable technological achievement revolutionized the intelligence world by returning from space more photographic coverage of the Soviet Union in a single mission than in all previous U-2 missions combined.
The first CORONA images were grainy and of limited utility, but quality—and intelligence value—improved rapidly on succeeding missions. Within a few months, CIA photointerpreters had dispelled both the missile gap and the bomber gap. They found that Soviets were, in fact, significantly behind the US in development of a workable ICBM and that the Soviets were building up a strategic bomber force but were devoting most of their resources to missile production. In just a few weeks, CORONA photography had eliminated the Soviet intelligence dilemma that had haunted the US for a decade.
Over the years, the quantity, quality, and reliability of CORONA imagery improved, making it the single most important source of intelligence on Soviet strategic forces: missile launch complexes and test ranges, ballistic-missile submarine development and deployment, aircraft factories and air bases, anti-ballistic-missile activities, and air defenses. CORONA was also an invaluable source of intelligence on potential enemies in East Asia, the Middle East, and other areas of interest. In addition, the US Defense Department used CORONA imagery to produce military maps of denied areas more accurately than ever before.
CORONA enabled the US to specify verifiable terms of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) with the Soviet Union in 1971. US negotiators confidently knew that photointerpreters could monitor changes in the size and characteristics of missile launchers, bombers, and submarines. Satellite imagery became the mainstay of the US arms-control verification process.
CORONA is a milestone in US history. Developers of this nation’s first film-return photoreconnaissance satellite explored and conquered many technological unknowns of space, lifted the curtain of secrecy that screened military developments within the Soviet Union and Communist China, and opened the way for the even more sophisticated follow-on imaging satellite systems. The 145th and final CORONA launch took place on May 25, 1972 with the final recovery on May 31, 1972. Over its lifetime, CORONA provided photographic coverage totaling approximately 750,000,000 square miles of the earth’s surface. This impressive capability was surpassed only by the quantity and quality of intelligence that it yielded. Without CORONA, the US may well have been misguidedly pressured into a World War III.

Walter Jackson Freeman II
AMERICAN NEUROLOGIST
Walter Jackson Freeman II, (born November 14, 1895, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.—died May 31, 1972), American neurologist who, with American neurosurgeon James W. Watts, was responsible for introducing to the United States prefrontal lobotomy, an operation in which the destruction of neurons and neuronal tracts in the white matter of the brain was considered therapeutic for patients with mental disorders. Freeman’s use of and public advocacy for the procedure and others like it made him a controversial figure.
Education And Early Career
Freeman’s father, Walter Jackson Freeman, was an otolaryngologist (an ear, nose, and throat doctor), and his maternal grandfather, William Williams Keen, was a prominent surgeon. Freeman did not express a strong interest in medicine in his youth, but, after receiving a bachelor’s degree in 1916 from Yale University, he enrolled as a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania and earned a medical degree (1920). He subsequently worked as an intern in pathology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and in 1923 traveled to Europe to study neurology. Upon his return to the United States the following year, Freeman took a position as the director of laboratories at Saint Elizabeths Hospital, then a leading psychiatric institution in Washington, D.C. Freeman’s initial perception of the hospital’s patient wards was marked in part by disgust and fear. Later he described mental disorders and the fate of affected individuals as a social tragedy, and he came to believe that such disorders arose from organic causes, such as abnormal neuronal function, rather than from unconscious mental processes, as was emphasized by psychoanalysis.
The Rise Of Prefrontal Lobotomy
In 1926 Freeman began teaching in Washington, D.C., both at the U.S. Naval Medical School and at Georgetown University, where he served without pay and later (1931) earned a Ph.D. Also in 1926 he was appointed a professor of neurology and chair of the neurology department at George Washington University. By the 1930s he had begun to use oxygen therapy as a treatment for mental illness. He later experimented with various chemical treatments and in 1938 began using electroshock therapy.
The possibility of surgical intervention had presented itself in 1935, however, when Freeman learned of a frontal lobe ablation (the surgical removal of tissue) technique that had been used on chimpanzees in task-performance experiments. Following ablation, one of the animals in the study experienced reduced agitation upon making an incorrect choice during a memory task (although the operation made the other chimpanzee in the study more agitated). The same year, Portuguese neurophysician António Egas Moniz, with the help of Portuguese surgeon Pedro Almeida Lima, modified a surgical technique for the prefrontal cortex in the frontal lobe of the brain and tested it on a human subject. Moniz experimented with ethyl alcohol, injecting the chemical through the holes in order to destroy areas of tissue thought to be involved in causing mental illness. He subsequently created an instrument known as the leukotome, which contained a deployable wire loop designed to cut sections of tissue. (Later models used a steel band to compress tissue cores.) The procedure of drilling holes in the front of the head and creating cores of brain matter with the instrument became known as prefrontal leukotomy.
In 1936 Freeman modified Moniz’s technique, describing his version of the operation as “lobotomy.” On September 14 that year Freeman and Watts performed the first prefrontal lobotomy operation in the United States, on a 63-year-old housewife who was suffering from insomnia and agitated depression (mixed bipolar disorder, in which manic and depressive symptoms occur together). Although the medical community was skeptical of the procedure and many physicians disapproved of it, Freeman believed it would change psychiatric medicine for the better and found the popular media to be an ally in his efforts to promote its use. Freeman and Watts performed a number of “standard” lobotomies, many of which were carried out at their private practice in Washington, D.C.
Development Of Transorbital Lobotomy
By 1945 Freeman had begun to lose confidence in the effectiveness of standard lobotomy, and thus he set to work on refining a procedure known as transorbital lobotomy, which was not only less expensive and faster than standard lobotomy but also, Freeman believed, more effective. Transorbital lobotomy was first attempted in 1937 by Italian psychosurgeon Amarro Fiamberti. Fiamberti performed the operation by forcing a thin tube (cannula) or a leukotome through the bony orbit at the back of the eye socket and injecting alcohol (or formalin) into the frontal lobe. Instead of a tube and alcohol, Freeman’s instrument of choice to penetrate through the bone was initially an ice pick and later a specially designed leukotome, which he manipulated by hand to destroy the neuronal tracts in the brain that were thought to give rise to mental illness. In January 1946 he performed his first transorbital lobotomy procedure, operating on a depressed and violent 29-year-old woman. The procedure was deemed a success; the patient was able to return to a relatively normal life.
Freeman did not share his plans for transorbital lobotomy with Watts, and, after finding out about it, Watts argued that such procedures should not be performed in their private offices. From that point on, Freeman performed the procedure elsewhere and for a period of time toured the country, operating on patients in hospitals and sometimes in other settings, such as hotel rooms. Watts later parted ways with Freeman, who performed his last lobotomy in February 1967, when a patient he operated on died from a brain hemorrhage.
A Controversial Treatment
While Freeman’s work found many supporters, his courting of the media reflected an arrogance and recklessness that placed many peoples’ lives and health at risk. Of the 3,500 lobotomies he performed or supervised during his career, an estimated 490 individuals died as a result of the treatment. His attitude and fatality rate, combined with his lack of interest in describing a scientific basis for the procedure, left him with little authority in the medical community. But Freeman’s desire to help the mentally afflicted—who often lived in mental institutions, where neglect was rampant and a successful return to society unlikely—was, by all appearances, genuine. His promotion of lobotomy as a psychiatric treatment at a time when antipsychotic drugs were not widely available for mental disorders also broke important ground for the field of neurosurgery.

XXXVII President of the United States: 1969 - 1974
182 - Toasts of the President and the Shah of Iran at a Luncheon in Tehran Honoring Their Imperial Majesties.
May 31, 1972
I WOULD just like, informally, to say a word to His Majesty and our guests--very informally, because we spoke last night.
First, we were very glad to come here after our visit to the Soviet Union, which was important, and which we will always remember because of what we saw and what may have been accomplished.
It was good to come to a country where we saw so many friends and people who have been longtime friends, and where we felt not only the fresh air blowing off the mountains but the freshness of the people and their attitudes as we went through the streets.
We will always be grateful for that little respite after our 8 days in the Kremlin. And while the Kremlin is a great palace, to be there for 8 days is a long time.
The other thing that I would say is that we are grateful for the fact that all of our party has been received so hospitably and that His Majesty has made available this beautiful summer palace, as it is called, I understand, for our use and for this luncheon.
It is very unusual for me to stand up in a house that is not my own, or one which the Government allows me to live in for 4 years at a time, and be able to act as the host.
But this, of course, is typical of the hospitality which is legendary here, which we have learned to know over almost 20 years, and which is enriched each time we come.
Perhaps the best way it can be said-and I am not a language expert, unfortunately, and most everybody here is, being from a world of diplomacy and the rest-but the way I feel now in this position of being able to offer the informal toast to Their Imperial Majesties is the way the Spanish say it. In our country whenever we invite anybody into our house, when somebody comes in, we say, "Make yourself at home." That is the phrase. But the Spanish say it in two different ways. They will say, "Estan en su casa," or "Mi casa es su casa," which means, "My house is your house," or, "You are in your own house."
So because His Imperial Majesty and Her Majesty have been so kind to say "Mi casa es su casa," we have had a memorable 24 hours here.
We aren't able to pay the rent, but on the other hand we hope that we can show our appreciation in a very easy way for us--through that continued, deep friendship which has characterized our relations for so many years and that, perhaps, is worth more than the rent.
So I suggest we all raise our glasses to Their Imperial Majesties.
Note: The President spoke at 1: 08 p.m. in the Saadabad Palace. He spoke from a prepared text.
The Shah responded as follows:
It was a long time since we were expecting you, Mr. President and Mrs. Nixon, to come to this country--although you have been here before--but in your present capacity as President of the United States. And this is for many reasons.
But the first one, and foremost, because we have established friendship with you and your country at one of the greatest moments of our history. It was almost a question of touch-and-go. And at that time we found you and your country right at our side. And, obviously, we cannot forget these things.
So I personally followed the career of the man who in those hours came to see us also in an important capacity as Vice President of the United States.
And I could not hide it from you that I was personally very happy to see this man be elected as the President of his country.
And since his election, standing to all the highest standards that anybody could show during his tenure of office, which was heartening for us because it came from a friend, but also the head and the President of a country whose friendship we value so high and also we need so much. And I don't think that we are the only people who need that friendship and those high standards of conduct and model; many others do. Some say it openly; some others just profit by it without saying something. Some others profit by it by even kicking you.
But be sure that we are not one of those. By sticking to our principles, we are sticking to our friends also at the same time.
In first of all congratulating you on what you have achieved internally in the United States and what you have achieved in these two historic trips abroad, I say that we fully agree with everything you have done and you have said. We wish you Godspeed, happy return to your country, very happy and successful future. And we regard your success very much also as our own success, because we know that this success represents something on which we can count and something with which we are familiar and that we can trust.
So thanking you once again for having accepted this heartfelt invitation, we wish you, on behalf of my wife, of our people that you saw yesterday in the streets, the actual generation, and especially and fortunately on behalf of the future generation, all the best in the world for yourself, Mrs. Nixon, and the very good people of America, which I am sure the tremendous majority are sound, reasonable, good-hearted, humanitarian people. God be with you.
Would you please raise your glass with me to drink to the health of the President of the United States and Mrs. Nixon.

Quotes
(Closing Narration)
Narrator: "To each his own" - so goes another old phrase to which Mr. Woodrow Mulligan would heartily subscribe, for he has learned, definitely the hard way, that there is much wisdom in a third old phrase which goes as follows: "Stay in your own backyard." To which it might be added, "and if possible, assist others to stay in theirs"--via, of course, the Twilight Zone.
