I never looked at the term as being divisive. If anything, I used it as a term of endearment applying to those doing a job some of the rest of us either did not or were not qualified to do. Consider yourself one of a select few who may know all the secret truths...Spooks are everywhere.

PO2 Robert M. - My Dad was a "Spook". CPO CT Retired 1971 (Passed in 2000) Served from 1946 to 1971. Trying to piece his service together. Went from Norfolk to who knows (before me) to UK, to Guam, Phillipines, Hawaii, San Diego and back to Norfolk and Virginia Beach before retiring. He always seemed SO PROUD to be a Spook. My Mom served for 4 years out of college and toted Classified Tubes to him when in DC, Maryland ??? Early before my Bro (1956) and me later (1963). Mom always called him a "Spook" and he NEVER told me a stitch of what he did or what it was for! :) ??? Secrets!
