A couple of emails , a letter with the outstanding demand and a letter from the debt collection agency . I reckon they a fishing for the one person who will pay the 130 Euro . I can ' t imagine they would have the power to take someone to court , internationally , over such a small amount . I dropped them an email telling them call at my door and I would give them the cash . <| sep |> No , it is from 1983 . I was actually still an Air Traffic Controller in the USAF at the time . Thus the 3910 haircut . . The usual route for us military ATC was to go FAA when we got out . But I got out not too long after President Reagan had fired all those striking air traffic controllers , and all my friends that had gone over were telling me horror stories of 16 hour shifts and 7 day workweeks . Hell naw . I had bought this IBM PC Compatible Sanyo MBC 550 , and was hacking on it in my barracks room . So , when I got out , I knew just enough computer jargon to go across the bay to the Navy base and convince them I was a computer operator . Got hired on as a VAX PDP 11 operator , and never went back to ATC . I started that position not even knowing how to load paper in a printer , because I couldn ' t afford the extra $ 800 for the dot matrix printer . That pixellated plate on the wall contains personally identifying info about the highly classified USAF unit I was assigned to hint , NORAD , during the cold war .
