triathlons on weekends, having completed his fifteenth two days ago. Which was why, as of yet, Mac hadn’t met “Delta Mike” Ronald. When Mac asked “who the Bleep” gave Mike Ronald his nickname, Delta Mike was quick to explain that back in Oki, at 3d Recon, everyone had called him Delta Mike. When Mac asked why, Delta Mike—with probably a little too much pride—explained he’d earned the name on the range. He nodded toward his target and, with a mouthful of false modesty, said he supposed it was because, like the Delta boys at CAG, he was a skilled operator. When Mike Ronald said the word “operator” Mac had made a face like tasting spoiled milk. “Naw,” he said, shaking his head mournfully and quietly laughing. “Your name ain’t Delta Mike…No way…” and then, raising his voice so everyone on the range could hear, Mac declared, “Your name is Dickhead Mike.” And so it was: he became Sergeant “Dickhead Mike” Ronald. Or, to his friends, simply “Dickhead.” Dickhead Mike never made it to CAG, or to the Office. A year later,People called him Skwerl because he was resourceful and could get you anything you needed, like a squirrel. They spelled it S-K-W-E-R-L because Marines can’t spell for shit, and when his nickname kept popping up spelled that way (on rosters, on his gear, anywhere someone had to write it) the spelling stuck. Like Dickhead, Skwerl had been a Raider. He left that unit when Uncle Tony, the recruiter for the Office and later his boss, had approached him about a career change. Skwerl didn’t know it at the time, but the mission where Dickhead Mike was killed would be his last, ending six years of working for Uncle Tony. Skwerl got himself in a bit of trouble after that. Something about seeing that kid shot through the neck, bleeding out, and Skwerl saying his name over and over and that name being Dickhead; it set something off in Skwerl—like maybe he was the dickhead. |

If this system sounds confusing, it is. You might think you’re having a conversation about three different people (Joe Blow, Clark C. KENT, and Bob Barker) only to realize that they’re all the same person (true name, PSEUDO, and alias). This is where your fourth name comes in, and it doesn’t appear on any birth certificate, email system, or alias passport. Typically, the use of a fourth name is specific to the paramilitary world, where most guys already have nicknames from their time in SOCOM. Your nickname would be what everyone in the Office knew you by, as well as the indig, at least the ones who’d worked on our programs awhile. Some of those nicknames sound cool. Like the retired CAG master sergeant who, strangely, was the doppelgänger of David Howell Evans, better known as The Edge or simply Edge, the guitarist for U2. So that master sergeant was forever known as Edge. Cool or uncool, all nicknames hold fast to a single rule,break at your own peril: never, ever try to give a nickname to yourself. Mike Ronald tried to give himself a nickname. As a young sergeant, he’d passed MARSOC selection and checked in at 2d Raiders in Lejeune from 3d Recon in Okinawa. Going from Recon to the Raiders was a step up. The week after his arrival, he was on the flat range at Stone Bay, working through transition drills between his M4 and Colt 1911, an old-model .45 caliber pistol that only the Raiders still used because, although unwieldy, its subsonic slug would punch a grapefruit-sized hole into your enemy’s chest. Mike was doing pretty well, too, keeping up with the drills, tight shot-groups, quick hands. He even had the guys on his team calling him by the nickname he’d picked for himself—“Delta Mike.” Of course, he hadn’t told them that he was the one who’d picked this nickname after leaving Oki. He’d convinced his new teammates that on Oki everyone had called him Delta Mike because he could hold a soda-can-sized shot-group with his M4 at a hundred yards and the same with his 1911 at fifty. He’d then punched afew more dime-sized holes out of the silhouette target—double-tapping center mass and drilling one through the head—as if the last shot proved the point, like how you put a period at the end of a sentence. |

The computer that generates the pseudos has always seemed to have a sort of a borsch-belt sense of humor, like when it assigned Wan C. CURR and Hugh D. MUNGUS to a couple of new hires. Mostly, though, the pseudos just don’t line up with the personality of whoever they’re assigned to, like the tweed-coat-bowtie-wearing forensic accountant in Counter Proliferation Division whose pseudo, Tony T. TATALIA, made him sound like a mob boss, like the type of criminal he used to hunt down before he moved across the Potomac from Treasury. A final point on pseudos: you know it’s a pseudo because the last name is always all caps, and the middle initial always stands for nothing. The third name you’ll get is your alias, which the team at All-Docs creates. Your alias appears on your passport. Note that I didn’t say fake passport because the passport isn’t a fake; it’s real, made for you by the State Department. It’s a fake name but on a real passport. Typically, you use only one name per country, which is why everyone winds up with at least four names, but sometimes as many as a dozen. For the paramilitary guys, who work with the indig troops, they used to try to keep the first name the same on alias passports and only change the last name. This would keep some indig rifleman in Somalia from knowing you as “Mr. Joe” while another indig squad leader in, say, Afghanistan knew you as “Mr. Bob.” |

Prologue The Office Everyone at the Office winds up with at least four names. The first is your true name. The one on your birth certificate. The one you enlisted with at eighteen or nineteen, standing formation on the Island’s yellow footprints, scared shitless, your head fresh-shaved, bald as the day you were born. True names don’t get used much around the Office. Which brings us to your second name. This is your pseudonym—or pseudo. A name randomly generated for all undercover officers. Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t everyone in the building. Not even the majority. If undercover officers corresponded in their true name instead of their pseudo, every email they sent—to include asking a colleague to grab coffee in the cafeteria—would be classified because that email, no matter how innocuous, would reveal the undercover officer’s identity. So you get a pseudo.

WORDS OF WISDOM. UA SPOT ON THOUGH MOST WONT CONCUR WITH YOUR TAKE ON RELIGION. Trust no one I love animals very intelligent and their sense of organs very enhanced But what baffles me is how humans still claim they are the most intelligent of all animals! Name top ten intelligent animals humans will not make the top ten.. cat is so smart that even if falling down from any height it will never fall awkwardly and break neck. Dog sense of hearing is too sharp reason a dog was able to detect the vibration sound of Turkey earthquake and started backing a day before the earthquake Something our so called prophet, native doctor and pastor could not see with their yeye spiritual eye Humans are very dull. The only animals whose mind can be conditioned to believe In the existence of one supreme being up there in the sky called God that does not exist. Ask humans what is keeping them alive. They will tell you grace of God. So what now happened to the forty thousand people that died in Tur |
