Am I happy that I am ReTIRED from Federal .GOV..... My Records are down in some dusty Basement, in a Dusty, Taped Up, Bankers Box... Next stop, the shedder, and the Boiler at the Gettysburg, PA Federal Steam Plant....
Changed your social when you got out did ya? Not being flip, but you and I both know, without a doubt, that there's stuff in your file that most likely hasn't changed.
Yea, if they got my FBI File, with the Security Clearance Records, I might be worried, but baring that, having just a Name and SS Number, and even a BirthDate, isn't of a lot of concern to me...Having my Medical Records hacked, in the BlueCross hack, was of some concern....
I remember when I went to my first trip to the military physical, back in 1992 and the clerk told me there were 14 others with the same name as me and at least half a dozen also with the same social security number. I wasn't worried then, not worried now. *shrugs*
Ok @Brokor... I just gots to ask..... Was it you, or the other half-dozen Guys, that got your Name and SS Number from a "CrackerJacks" Box.... Inquiring Minds might want to know.....
It's almost time for me to get a new identity. I can't keep this one, I am 41 years old but I still look to be in my early twenties.
My Secret Identity, has long since been Blown, with the Birth Certificate, Passports, Drivers License, and SS Card, long since burned.... So I just Hide Out, way out here, and Hope that the distance between Myself, and anyone Looking, is enough, of an Insurance Policy, for the rest of my Days, on this Rock..... Which are LIMITED, by Father Time.... and the SawBones....
Just give it 9 years, things start to change quickly when your in your 50's. Thought I was bulletproof up until last year.
