I started looking at space shuttle flight STS-82 for clues that I graduated the U.S. Naval Academy in 1982.
I wrote earlier about how the USS Lassen DDG-82 was the 4th ship of the 3rd sub-class of Arleigh Burk-class guided missile destroyers. I find that curious because I think I graduated in 1982 from the USNA after 4 years of attendance.
The next ship, USS Howard DDG-83, was commissioned 5.9 months, after USS Lassen DDG-82 and I think ship that represents a friend of mine at the USNA. The USS Howard DDG-83 was the 33rd ship overall of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda assigned in 2000 that guy named Tom Burke as my mentor as I began a new role in the company. Before that, in 1999, they assigned a woman named Laura Mason as my mentor when I began a new role. Laura Mason told me me she was a U.S. Navy officer in the Reserves with the rank of Commander and served as a crew person on the EA-6 Prowler, a variation of the A-6 Intruder bomber. The name 'Mason' is also important to my real identity but I can't remember who I knew with that name.
The namesake for Lassen might have rescued me and the pilot of an F-4 I was flying with in Vietnam after we were shot down by enemy fire. Or maybe I was flying that helicopter that rescued the downed pilots. I don’t know. I find some details about his experiences that make me wonder if I was part of all that. If the ship DDG-82 was planned to reflect my commissioning from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1982, then it stands to reason the namesake of USS Lassen, a Medal Of Honor recipient, would also connect to me somehow. I noted that Lieutenant Lassen was awarded the Medal Of Honor for heroism observed on 6/19/68, during the Vietnam War. I count that the date 6/19/68 was 59 weeks, 3 days, after 5/1/67, the day I think I first flew a jet aircraft.
He was presented the Medal Of Honor on 1/16/69, according to this source. The date difference of 5/1/67 and 1/16/69 was 593 days plus 33 days. It’s possible to create any kind of number combination from the 626 days between those two dates, but then, it could be one of those clues you only find if you know what you are looking for. I would have been 9.29 years old on 6/19/68.

About the Ship’s Name:
Clyde Everett Lassen, a native of Fort Myers, Florida, earned the Congressional Medal of Honor for his courageous rescue of two downed aviators while commander of a search and rescue helicopter in Vietnam.
On June 19, 1968, Lassen, then a 27 year old Lieutenant flying a UH-2 Seasprite, embarked on a mission to recover two downed naval aviators whose plane had been shot down deep in North Vietnamese territory. Upon reaching the hilly terrain where the aviators were hiding, LT Lassen made several attempts to recover the aviators, but dense tree cover, enemy weapons fire and intermittent illumination frustrated his efforts. Determined to complete his mission, LT Lassen turned on the landing lights of the helicopter, despite the danger of revealing his position to the enemy. After the pilots made their way to the helicopter and with his damaged helicopter dangerously low on fuel, LT Lassen evaded further antiaircraft fire before landing safely at sea onboard a guided missile destroyer-with only five minutes of fuel left in the helicopter’s fuel lines.
The account of the rescue was logged as a successful, routine search and rescue mission. But at the home base for Helicopter Combat Squadron Seven, the rescue flight of June 19, 1968, will always be acclaimed as one of the most daring feats of flying to come out of the Vietnam Conflict.
As for space shuttle flight STS-82, which I believe was scheduled to point to my graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1982, the commander of STS-82 was born 11/14/56. From his birth, 9265 days plus 33 days points to 4/30/82. From 11/14/1956 to 4/30/1982 is: 9298 days. 9298 minus 9265 equals 33. I think the 9265 was a clue that points to my first day at Princeton University and then 4/30/82 was my last day at the U.S. Naval Academy, although the class actually graduated, I assume, on 5/28/82.
STS-82 was a mission of the United States Space Shuttle.
Launch: February 11, 1997
Landing: February 21, 1997

Kenneth D. Bowersox (4), - Commander
Kenneth Duane "Sox" Bowersox (born 14 November 1956) was an American astronaut, a veteran of four Space Shuttle missions and an extended stay aboard the International Space Station.
The pilot of STS-82 was born 3/24/57 and I have calculated the connection of his birth to 9/2/65 and 5/28/82. The date 92/65 was what I think was my first day at Princeton University. The date 5/28/82, was the offical graduation of U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1982, or so I assume.
From 3/24/1957 to 9/2/1965 is: 3084 days. 3084 / 0.3359 = 9181.30. From 3/24/1957 5/13/1982 is: 9181 days. 359 hours / 24 = 14.9583. From 5/13/1982 to 5/28/1982 is: 15 days
Scott Jay "Doc" Horowitz (born March 24, 1957) is a retired American astronaut and a veteran of four space shuttle missions.
A Mission Specialist on flight STS-82 was born 12/12/51, which I believe connects me to 5/28/82, the date I think was the official date of the graduation of U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1982.
The number of days from his birth date of 12/21/51 to 5/28/82, which was possibly the Class of 1982 graduation date, was 11116 days. Multiplying 11116 by 0.3359 equals 3733.8644. The number of days from 3/3/59 and 5/22/69 was 3733. From 5/22/69, 59 days later was 7/20/69, the day Apollo 11 landed on the Earth’s moon.
Steven Alan Hawley (born December 12, 1951) is a NASA mission-specialist astronaut, who has made 5 spaceflights so far.
One of the other Mission Specialists was born 4/15/56 and I believe that date connects to my first day at Princeton University and the graduation date of U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1982. I have been searching for the actual date the class graduates but I haven’t been able to find it. I thought I found it once, but then I realized that date was wrong because the clock that supposedly reported the duration from graduation is stuck at 24 years, 2 months. I assume that 5/28/82 was the official graduation date because sources indicate that graduation at USNA has been on the last Friday of May for the last few years.
The number of days from 4/15/1956 to 5/28/1982 was 9539. From 4/15/1956 to 9/2/1965 was 3427 days. Dividing 3427 by 9539 equals 0.359
