Yes, I’m aware Great Skills is a real program. I’ve met and worked with Soldiers in the program. I was joking about whispering it because, even though it’s existence and name are public some people will pause and check their six when you say “Great Skills”. lol

Ft. Huachuca, AZ. It’s in Cochise County. It’s the Army Intel Center and the Army NETCOM HQ.

Shortly after 9/11, Arkin wrote a book on how to gain access to classified U.S. military records, which included code names for many programs. Dana Priest, deeply involved in Nigergate reporting, is another collaborator of his.
