Pat Porter
I have been retired from clandestine service since the mid 1990’s. I served for 26 years as a field intelligence operative, first with US Army Intelligence for three years, then with the CIA for 23 years. Entering the CIA as a very expendable GS-8, I was fortunate to have climbed the ranks into the Senior Intelligence Service retiring as a GS-17. After five years as a paramilitary operative, I was selected by the agency to be assigned to the deepest of deep cover assignments as a Non-Official Cover Case Officer for 18 years. I served both as an executive for the corporation that provided my cover and as an intelligence operative working in both Asia and Europe. I now live a reclusive life enjoying hiking, biking, fishing and fossil hunting.

Material labeled as facts, tales, terms and tips have been approved by the CIA manuscript review board. Nearly 20,000 words of the original submitted content have been removed for being “too factual and detailed as to how the CIA actually works” in the field. Although I have submitted to the CIA's judgment to protect past and current agents and assets, the words are my own and reflect my opinions, beliefs, and experiences.

Dedication

This blog is dedicated to those men and women on the CIA's Wall of Honor whose ultimate sacrifice continues to perpetuate the freedoms the rest of us enjoy and so often take for granted.
