Expectation of Declassification - NCO 1

Every Enlisted Member of the Air Force has a Security Clearance. Mostly Secret, unless they are the very few assigned to a Special Operations Group, in which case they receive Top Secret.
In 1988, I was one of the first Women assigned to a Special Operations Group *AND* given a Top Secret Security Clearance. As a result of such a fabulous Career Milestone, all of my Air Force Records were Classified.  Including Medical & Mental Health.

My Expectation of Declassification: 25 years.

When will information AFDO exempts from E.O. 13526 become declassified?
Information classified under E.O. 13526 becomes declassified under the following conditions:
a. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the issuance of the record in question (typically 10, 25, or 50 years), at which point the Original Classification Authority (OCA) for the information in question has previously judged that the information can be released to the public.
b. After an event occurs whose occurrence the OCA has previously determined marks the point after which information becomes declassified.

When I wrote the chapter titled The Crew Chief I had a suspicion that the man I was writing about was either dead or in prison. I had looked for him over the years, between 1996 and 2003, and found absolutely no foot print. For a while I used my career background in Information Technology to convince myself he was in Law Enforcement.

It took three years to find him, from the time I started looking again in 2015, until finally one day in July 2018 he showed up on a Data Collection Site.

I was so sure he was deceased, because I just couldn’t imagine that one of only 2 unit members who had me truly believe he had my back, could be anything other than Law Enforcement, Active Duty, or Dead.

In 2015 my expectations of Declassification was upon me. It is no coincidence that my US Air Force medical records were magically found exactly 25 years nearly to the day of my honorable discharge. The award letter was dated May 1, 2015, the check & the automatic monthly payments came on June 1, 2015. Documents do not magically disappear in the Government, only to reappear with special notations of “Sealed for Security Reasons”. Not in the Air Force. After 25 years of being questioned about why I left the Air Force, 8 rejections from the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and years of Stolen Valor Accusations, I was finally acknowledged as a Veteran of the US Air Force.

My DD-214 is still redacted. On Paper, within the bowels of the US Government, my Unit assignment is still Classified. In order to get my Unit information, a FOIA request is required. Or, if you are or ever have been associated with the US Navy SHARP Team, you got that information in a Brute Force Breech during the Trial in San Bernardino County California. It is clear the DOXing and “special investigators” produced some pretty crazy results which proved to be hilariously incorrect, so of course Brute Force was required…

I was well aware of the retaliation I would suffer when, in 2016 when I appealed my 2015 VA rating decision to include my entire medical record, both medical and mental health. But by then, I was so angry and so rage full, I was literally looking for a fight. The threat placed upon me by the USAF at my Honorable Discharge was erased when my mother drove off a cliff on June 26, 2015. No more leash on my neck, no more gag in my mouth.

Thanks to the VA Loma Linda, my MST Statement is now part of the Public Record. I knew the risk from media reports of VA Corruption, so when I put words to paper, I only selected a few locations and dates and names.

Sure enough, the Summer of 2017, nearly one year to the date of submitting my Self Narrative, I found myself in a hotel across the Parking Lot from the exact Location outside Luke AFB, and even at the exact restaurant, from 1989.

As I have said repeatedly from the beginning, you DOX me, I DOX you
Oh, and I get to Humiliate the DoD *AND* the USAF!

Meet Staff Sgt David "Cage" Caggiano Assigned to the 33rd AMU A Flight Summer 1988

Apparently the USAF Base in Germany* is actually in the Florida Panhandle*! Who knew!?
(*Lies Men tell Women to Hide they are USAF Active Duty Child Rapists!)

Please Note:
Cage was transferred to Florida Prison System in 2009 from another State. The Child Rape charges go back as far as 1994.
