(This review appeared in Aperture, Vol. 2, No. 1, the newsletter of the International Remote Viewing Association.)

When I was asked to review The Seventh Sense, I looked forward to reading it and providing objective comments on the book's value and factual details. I anticipated that some incidents described in the book could be interpreted differently, as I had discovered was the case in discussions with various other former Star Gate personnel and especially from listening to radio talkshow interviews with some of them.

After thoroughly reading the book, I realized that there were many aspects to it and that a comprehensive review would not be easy. Consequently, I have limited my comments to portions of the book that have to do with those things with which I am most familiar, as well as those that may have alternative interpretations or perspectives.

My initial concern that the book might not have appropriate qualifiers was dispelled when I read the preface. Lyn very appropriately sets the stage by clearly saying what the book is about and what it is not about. He acknowledges up front that "this is a personal account," which alerts the reader to expect both subjective and objective material. The preface ends on an upbeat note with Lyn's fascination and wonder at the topic of remote viewing and its importance for the future of mankind. I certainly endorse those feelings and views, as they capture the essence and potential of not only remote viewing (RV), but other psi phenomena as well.

The Seventh Sense is written in easy-to-understand language. This is important because explaining RV concepts or any psi-associated procedure is not always easy. The book has considerable insight as a resource, but it is not a how-to book. It emphasizes the potential value of psiRV as promoted through the Controlled RV (CRV) approach used by Lyn. It does illustrate practical issues such as the various pitfalls and difficulties that are likely to occur if we are not alert to them.

However, there are also portions that seem to be overly subjective, present too much of a one-sided view or, in some cases, have relatively serious errors of fact, which may serve to promote certain biases or misunderstandings that are rife in the remote-viewing field today. Lyn even acknowledges these possibilities: "I would like to caution the reader of this book to realize that my stories, just like the stories of the other group members, are to be taken as personal accounts and as singular viewpoints of personal participation in historic events." He recognizes that accounts from other military RV unit members may have "grown with the retelling." We are therefore alerted to the possibility that some of the accounts in this book may also have "grown" a bit in the telling. I hope these glitches do not deter the reader from seeking the nuggets that are present, as there is much that is valuable in the book's pages.

Overview

The first three chapters of The Seventh Sense are a chronological account of how the author became involved in the military RV unit at Ft. Meade, Maryland, and make for interesting reading. A number of operational military RV projects are described in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 mainly contains Lyn's account of the activities of "Ted" (a thinly disguised Ed Dames) after Ted/Ed retired from the military. Chapters 6 through 14 explain Lyn's CRV procedures, discuss CRV's strengths and weaknesses, and present his views of various incidents that occurred in the RV unit, including some of a psychological nature. These chapters also contain examples of CRV sessions.

Chapter 15, The Afterlife, explains how Lyn's experiences as a remote viewer changed his views from those of his childhood religious upbringing about the survival of the human soul. Chapter 16 gives Lyn's response to skeptical attacks and outlines his procedures for analyzing remote-viewing results, while Chapter 17 describes Lyn's civilian activities since his retirement from the military, and explains his Assigned Witness Program (AWP), which he employs for forensic work with police agencies. Chapter 18, One Final Story. gives a problematic account of the alleged role remote viewing played in the U.S. air raid on Libya in April 1986. The remaining one third of this 300-page book comprises appendices presented as a remote-viewing sourcebook, with caveats, terminology, formats for record-keeping, exercises to develop and enhance RV abilities, methods for scoring RV session data, a sample CRV session, and a discussion of other RV methods.

Discussion

The early, more historical chapters have a lot that is useful and informational. However, there was also material that I found questionable, even erroneous. Some of this may be due to the author's memory of things in the now distant past, or owe to an inadvertent misinterpretation of events. Regardless, many of these errors could have been avoided by fact-checking or more in-depth research. The tone or implications of some of the author's commentary also raises some concerns. Here are some of the issues that are noteworthy:

• A sentence in the preface reads: "The exercises [in the appendix] will provide you with more self improvement than going to some guru for a month and living on saw grass and swamp water." This strikes one as not only judgmental, but somewhat demeaning. Why draw such a caricature of other sincere attempts at enlightenment, and with a tone of seeming derision? And at whom is this comment really aimed? It would seem that there are many paths to self-improvement a term which itself is undefined anywhere in the book. While this is only a small comment in the entire book, it sets a tone that pops up here and there throughout. And, to make such an attack-even if only indirectly by satire and ridicule. as here-does not help Lyn's case or reflect the best light on Lyn himself. He could perhaps have been more charitable in this and other places in the book.
• Lyn asserts that, through a psychokinesis (PK)-based interaction of some type, he caused a massive electronic systems failure throughout not only his home base at Field Station Augsburg. Germany, but all of Western and Eastern Europe and even into other portions of the globe. The magnitude of this claim is difficult to grasp and casts a shadow of doubt on his interpretation of other incidents discussed in this book. The original accounts of this event during the mid-1980s extended only to isolated computer systems within the field station itself. That the alleged computer "crash" is now portrayed in The Seventh Sense as having encompassed systems nearly worldwide contributes to a sense that this is one of those accounts that may have "grown in the retelling." (pp. 7 -8)
• Lyn's account of an RV demonstration for a visiting U.S. senator is not as I recall it. Only one senator ever personally visited the remoteviewing unit at Ft. Meade, and I was present at the time. The description of this visit in The Seventh Sense seems rather far off the mark. (p.34)
• According to this book, the "CIA took over the project and renamed it Stargate" in 1993. (p.34) This is mistaken. The CIA sponsored a review of the program, but never took it over as an operational unit. And even that happened in 1995, not 1993. The CIA's report recommended that the military RV program be closed down.

The name change itself happened this way: When I became the Unit Director in Fall 1990, it was time to change the unclassified program name by which the unit was known. Working with the others in the unit, I came up with the term "STAR GATE." It was submitted and accepted as a Defense Department (DoD)/Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-approved code word (with no connection to the CIA). The Star Gate program included (1) the operational activity of the DIA's Ft. Meade unit; (2) all external RV research; and (3) assessments of communist countries' psi activity.

• In the same passage where he describes the concluding phase of STAR GATE, the author says that "the unit was cut back to one remote viewer (a CRVer), a tarot card reader, and an automatic writer." These "negative-image" terms are misleading, however. To my knowledge, tarot-card reading was not used for any intelligence task. Further, the term "automatic writing" evokes a discrediting image due to unfortunate New (and old) Age associations. However, no one can say with absolute certainty that CRV, with its aspects of "automatic drawing" (ideograms, etc.) and its involved process of writing words, is not generated by a fundamental psi process that is similar to so-called "automatic writing."
• In Chapter 4, Lyn discusses several operational projects. The first is the search for Brigadier General James Dozier after a terrorist group, The Red Brigades, abducted him in Verona, Italy in 1981. Lyn says, "[Joe McMoneagle] came up with information that directed the police to Padua, Italy, and eventually to the exact building where the General was being held." (p.37) Unfortunately, this is incorrect. No RV or other psi-derived data were used by the Italian police for finding the "exact building."

I was the DoD intelligence representative on site in Vicenza, Italy. responsible for coordinating various activities, including the possible use of RV data in locating the general. I did not arrive in the field until halfway through the six-week search period. The initial inputs from the military RV unit (as well as from "walk-ins"-people who volunteered information they said came from psychic impressions) were not helpful, and the U.S. Army's Intelligence and Security Command actually released a report saying that it believed the general to still be in Verona, the city where he was abducted.

Toward the latter part of the search, McMoneagle did indeed provide "Padua" as the city where Dozier was being held, along with a very general city-area sketch, although certainly not the exact building. Unfortunately, this information never made it to me or to anyone else involved in the search, because of an administrative time delay in the United States.

Since I did not receive any RV updates from the Ft. Meade unit, I had to use my own resources and methods. As did others involved in the search, I felt that we had little time left for a successful rescue. As was later learned. the data I generated in the field did have an accurate building description and other relevant information, but the information was rejected out-of-hand due to the negative view of RV held by the search team's commander. Furthermore. the building description received could have fit dozens of locations in Padua. Only the exact address and apartment number would have been useful, and that is what a former Red Brigades member supplied to the Italian police.

• Lyn describes the search for Colonel Higgins. a U.S. Marine held hostage in Lebanon in 1988. and claims to have discovered that Higgins was dead. To my knowledge. no such report was ever passed up from the RV unit. Since I was the "clearinghouse" for such reporting at the next-higher headquarters, I am sure I would have seen it had it been passed along. If Lyn had in fact remoteviewed Col. Higgins and "witnessed his execution" as he describes, why was this not passed on to DlA headquarters and subsequently presented in the annual briefings to Congressional committees? (p.41) · There is considerable difficulty with Lyn's interpretation of a predictive RV session relating to the Chernobyl nuclear-reactor meltdown in 1986. To the best of my knowledge, no record of such a project or session data was contained in the RV unit's files. (p.41)
• Lyn's account of the RV unit's Desert Storm involvement doesn't match what I know to have really happened. Contrary to 'Lyn's assertions, Star Gate remote viewers were not asked to access the intentions and plans of Saddam Hussein on a daily basis. There may have been occasional taskings to try to detect future Iraqi activities, but this was at most a weekly occurrence, certainly not daily. Even in the event such tasking was provided, Lyn's psychological profile of Saddam is suspect, since it seems that Lyn's own expectations could have been the source, serving to color any remote-viewing data received. (pp.S2-3)
• In describing another RV session, the author relates. "I viewed that Saddam Hussein had somehow gotten an American missile and had plans to fire it into the high holy ceremonies during the feast of Ramadan, destroying the al-Haram mosque in Mecca, as well as all the other leaders of the Arab world, who had come there to worship." He then says that, several years later, he was told by someone in an office that he cannot disclose that, "[W]ell, that single report averted a world war." (p.S8).

It is highly doubtful that any RV data had the potential to "avert a world war." It is also doubtful that Saddam Hussein was trying to obtain a u.s. missile at that time; he could have used other methods to blow up the mosque. The only surface-launched u.s. missiles capable of striking a building with sufficient precision at that distance are cruise missiles, and Hussein could never have successfully programmed and launched such a missile even if he had gotten his hands on a functional one. I am also not aware of the session that predicted burning oil fields, depending on certain coalition strategies, when Hussein withdrew his troops. Because I was the Unit Director at the time and responsible for receiving all taskings and passing along aU intelligence reports that left our office, this could not have occurred without my knowledge.

• In Chapter 5, the author describes an embarrassing episode involving Ed Dames ("Ted"), who at the time was serving as a remote-viewing trainer. This episode involved practice sessions in which Dames supplied esoteric target objectives with UFO/ET/alien themes. Such objectives were certainly not officially approved, whether as a formal tasking or for any type of training.

However, this episode is useful in that it shows the pitfalls of using esoteric targets and an RV monitor or trainer with strong preconceived ideas. Such targets are a waste of time, particularly when a variety of unprovable interpretations can arise. Even if Dames used pictorial or artist's concept material for feedback, it is likely that some of these sessions also had his specific interpretations enter into the viewers' responses. "Telepathic overlay" can occur, especially when someone with strong expectations is sitting across from the viewer.

This same chapter discusses the troubling exploits of only ODe of the RV unit's members, Ed Dames. The distortions of unit activities presented by another former unit member, David Morehouse, in his media appearances and his 1996 book Psychic Warrior, go unmentioned. In other chapters, Lyn presents Morehouse in a very positive light. I can only wonder what influence the editor of this book may have had, since she also served as Morehouse's literary agent.

• In response to Russian psi work, Lyn says, "Russia . . . did not practice psychic spying as much as psychic influencing and control." He then claims that "information on unit personnel identity, if known to the Russian psi influencers, could become targets for killing the unit and everyone in it." (p.63). At the time, I was the DoD's main point of contact for intelligence on the Warsaw Pact's psychoenergetic research and applications. In none of my studies then or since have I seen any trustworthy information suggesting that psi can be used for killing, nor have I ever seen any experimental evidence that even hints of such a possibility. What credible evidence for "remote influencing" there is - such as staring experiments and some types of PK or presentiment experiments - show weak statistical evidence of mental and biological system sensitivity. But it is a huge step from these weak effects to say that psi can be used to kill. In 1993, I was in Moscow and witnessed a Russian psi-influence experiment. It was similar to American staring experiments, which show only weak physiological effects such as skin-resistance changes and shifts in EEG patterns.
• Apart from the fact that this book is the author's personal account, his nearly exclusive reference to "the military's CRV" unit might give the reader the mistaken impression that the Ft. Meade unit had only military personnel and that only CRV was practiced there. However, throughout the life of the Ft. Meade operation, civilian personnel were an important part of the effort. and during some periods even outnumbered the assigned military personnel. And, various types of RV were practiced even after the introduction of CRV.
• Lyn's reference to the military unit as having existed "for more than twenty-four years" is another erroneous statement. The Ft. Meade RV unit was established in 1977, was formally transferred to DlA in 1986, became part of Star Gate when the research and operational efforts were combined in late 1990, and was closed in 1995. That span of time is 18 years, not 24. (p.I80)
• In Chapter 13, Lyn describes a CRV project aimed at gaining "intelligence about a Russian particle beam weapon at Semipalatinsk. " In this example, the monitor prompts Lyn to "move to the time of beam activation and describe." This prompt led Lyn into what, in his terminology. is called a "perfect site integration" (PSI) mode, and he thereafter "lost touch with the room around" him. (This immersion experience resembles a conscious or lucid dream. However, Dream State Psi (DSP) and Conscious State Psi (CSP) [which includes remote viewing] may in fact not be as dissimilar as they at first might appear.)

The wording of the prompt. "move to the time of beam activation. . .". is questionable. When this session was performed. the Semipalatinsk facility was known as "PNUTS" (for "Possible Underground Nuclear Test Site"). There were very strong opinions in the intelligence community that it was for high-energy particle- beam weapons development. Since, however, this facility's purpose was then not yet known, how could a monitor have asked for information at "the time of beam activation?" This seems to be a leading prompt, since it presupposes that PNUTS was actually the site of a particle-beam weapon. We now know ground truth on this score.

After the wall in Berlin came down and U.S. scientists had access to PNUTS information, they discovered that the site was really being used to research space-based nuclear propulsion and not a high-energy beam weapon at all. Therefore, it appears that this session was not only improperly conducted, but that the expectations of the monitor along with Lyn's own expectations and "mini-reality" creation (so-called "analytical overlay") led to the various emotional and physical responses, producing the perception of a high-energy beam system where there really wasn't one. (p.140).

• The final chapter preceding the appendices has a fairly large problem in it. Lyn states tasth the unit director, in reference to a tasking to remote-view Libyan leader Muammar 'ifaddaQ location prior to the U.S. raid on Libya in1986, said, "If you had not predicted a successful raid, the mission would have been called off . . ." Unfortunately, there is no way that any RV session data would have been used by u.s. mission planners to decide whether or not a raid should be initiated. But there is an even bigger problem. Available operational records from the Ft. Meade unit show that, although remote viewings were indeed done in support of the Libyan raid, the first sessions-aimed at locating both Qaddafi and a downed F-lll fighter-bomber lost in the attack did not take place until after the attack had occurred. I am thus uncertain as to the purpose of the concluding portion of this chapter, "An Open Letter to Muamrnar Khadafi." It is interesting, but it seems to me to be an overreaction, especially since Lyn's data could not possibly have been a factor in the raid that he discusses. (pp.197-200)

Despite these problems, The Seventh Sense has its constructive side, too. The author often sounds a positive note, concluding one chapter optimistically and suggesting that learning about RV can motivate some people to "go below the surface aspects of CRV and begin to ask deeper questions, to see what makes this thing called the human mind work." Great! It is to be sincerely hoped that this will be one of the benefits of the psi-RV history that RV research and the military RV unit's activities have wrought. (p.82).

In another chapter, he ends by noting that one of the best benefits of CRV is that, as a "person becomes more self-aware, it raises, at least a little, the level of awareness within mankind . . . and that CRVers are breaking ground for building a better mankind." One can certainly hope this is true, and that that "level of awareness" will include the understanding that CRV is but one of the many royal roads to greater awareness. (p.90).

An important, positive aspect of this book is a realistic discussion of the strengths, weaknesses, and imiI tations of CRV. In the author's view, the biggest weakness of CRV is its almost total inability to access information in the form of numbers and/or letters, known as "alphanumeric information," at the lower levels of training and experience. "A viewer can work around the problem to get alphanumerics, but it may take many years to reach that level of proficiency." (p.83)

For many decades, parapsychological research has shown that psi perception is essentially a non-linear and holistic process, associated with right-brain-hemisphere activity, whereas language is primarily a linear process associated with left-brain activity. So it is not surprising that alphanumerics and analytics are difficult for RV or most any other type of psi perception to capture. There is some doubt, though, when Lyn goes on to say that, "Analytics . . . can be achieved. . . and is not presently taught to the public." The "only I am privileged to know" tone of the passage is troubling. From the available evidence, it is unclear whether the CRV approach and associated concepts could ever lead to reliable analytics; it is thus curious that the author implies that this can be accomplished.

It is perhaps possible that "paradigm locking" is the reason for unreliable alphanumeric reception, and it may well be that "non-CRV" techniques that emphasize accessing right-brain subconscious activity would be more appropriate for analytics than CRV is. To his credit, Lyn alludes to this possibility when he says, "Alphanumeric information comes to the viewer in the same way as do dreams." In my view, this is a aelc indication for exploring the psi-RV potential of dreams. I can attest, through research and personal experience, to the validity of the dream format for accessing alphanumeric information.

After alerting us to CRV's weaknesses, Lyn describes its strengths. "The military's CRV unit had the highest accuracy rating of any of the intelligence community's vast array of intelligence gathering tools . . . the CRV method can produce information about a target site that is 90% correct." But there are difficulties here. How is "accuracy" or "information" defined? Anyone who has worked with RV or other psi-derived data and other, more conventional forms of intelligence systems would have difficulty accepting this bold statement about CRV being better than any other intelligence tools. Maybe this would be true in situations where no other intelligence source is available, but not in the overall context implied. And the claim that "police departments" and "other agencies" are "ecstatic about CRV," is rendered less convincing in the absence of any cases to illustrate exactly why such claims are made and how they are verified.

Chapter 9's discussion of the positive aspects of CRV proficiency for "increased creativity. . . happiness. . . spiritual[ity] . . . " is encouraging. Lyn concludes this section by reminding us that this increased sensitivity can be of great personal benefit, especially for subconsciously responding appropriately in crisis situations. It is good to read that personal well-being and crisis response are benefits of the CRV training approach, and that CRV is not only "to do psychic spying." However, it must be remembered that these benefits also occur from many other tools for inner development-intuition, yoga practices, dreamwork, etc. (p.106).

Lyn's account of the personal incident in which his subconscious helped him avoid a serious traffic accident illustrates a phenomenon well known to many. Hunches, the sudden impulse to act, being in the right place at the right time (synchronicity) can all have subliminal, intuitive, or psi links of ESP. remote viewing, etc. I agree that the more we are open and sensitive to our immediate environment, whether we call it "intuition" or a sense of "ambience," the more responsive we can be in time of need or danger. His discussion on synaesthesia and hypersensitivity is very informative. It adds a valuable perspective to the RV literature, and serves as a caution for those who would leap into any mental-development activity such as meditation, CRV, or any other psi technique.

In Chapter 14 is a description of how to properly word remote-viewing tasking for both contemporary and past or future target objectives. Lyn distinguishes be- tween the beginner accessing the feedback material and the advanced viewer tending to view the correct tasking/site even if the wrong feedback is given. He makes a valid criticism regarding some parapsychological laboratory experiments that require the viewer to select the correct target from several others, since portions of the other pictures may be accessed. This potential issue can be overcome if the viewer is shown only the target picture. (Others, such as the session-data evaluators, can be shown all the pictures so that statistical appraisals can be made.) However, showing the viewer all the potential target pictures is not necessarily a "flawed experiment." With proper intentionality, even a novice can succeed in this type of experimental setup. (p.159).

Chapter 16 describes Lyn's involvement in police cases. It is informative and provides guidelines on how to report session data, how to select participants, how to conduct RV essions, how to evaluate data, how to communicate results, and other practical information. It contains advice on how to work "with police. not around them." Good material here.

Lyn's description of do's and don'ts for an interviewer or investigator are excellent. He describes how a monitor can move an RVer around in time and space, and emphasizes the need for "practice" in order to perfect such time-space travel. Unlike many New ,sregA he does not view time as "not linear," but considers time as "totally linear," and that "every cause has an effect. . . and that the progress of time can go in any direction. . . . That explains why we can sense the event ahead of time. " These are interesting views about time and not inconsistent with some current physical theories about reality, especially in certain quantum-physics formulations of microdomains where time, at least briefly, has both a forward-and backward-moving component. However, Lyn implies that the CRVer, when moving ahead in time, accesses information that is fixed and will eventually occur. This is as yet unproven and, if true, can lead to "fixed-fate" dilemmas that are both logically and scientifically problematic.

The future that a CRVer, or any psychic, accesses is very Likely a probable future with both some perceived events essentially certain and others that may not occur due to intervening events. This is connected with the question of what the information source actually is: Is the perceived future actually the intention held by some- one? If so, would it be easier to intervene so as to pre- vent or avoid that potential future if the intention were destructive? Evaluation of precognitive data collected over decades by Dr. Louisa Rhine suggests that some precognitive experiences can be acted upon and there- fore avoided.

Lyn concludes this chapter on a philosophical upbeat, using ocean and wave analogies as the "stuff of life." (As a whitewater and wilderness canoeist, I can certainly relate to this imagery!

In the remaining pages are some useful appendices that have considerable detail on terminology, data-analysis formats and procedures, and sample sessions' data. Lyn also discusses exercises for opening up to one's inner sensitivities. His question-and-answer portion seems a bit too brief, overly simplified, and even a bit glib. However, his description about the conceptual framework for ideograms is clear, and the ambience exercise is well worthwhile. The last appendix is a good discussion of other remote-viewing methods, including Associative Remote Viewing (ARV) and Binary Remote Viewing (BRV).

Still, it seems that his perception of Extended Remote Viewing (ERV) is biased toward his total acceptance of CRV as the only way to do RV. ERV may be non-standard, but it is not correct to say it is non-scientific. as Lyn does in one passage. This all depends on how the word "scientific" is used. If "scientific" refers primarily to how one controls the recording of the R/Risp session. monitor knowledge, type(s) of frontloading, neutrality of questions and documented feedback, and, of course, appropriate data recording, filing, evaluation, and reporting, then the entire process can be considered "scientific." There is nothing scientific about the specific approach ("method") of achieving RV data. Specific procedures are independent of science. However, when they yield consistent or reliable results, they can be considered as having scientific validation. But is it the procedure or the basic phenomenon that is being validated? Other procedures can also achieve scientific validation, providing that all aspects of the scientific protocol are followed. (pp.28S-94).

The author's claim that ERV is not "SCientifically tested or accepted or proven in any way" is totally incorrect. Various parapsychological laboratories have in fact achieved statistically Significant results using various approaches for eliciting psi that are or can be associated with the label "ERV." Some ERV session procedures may be difficult, but so are some CRV procedures.

In further discussing ERV, Lyn states that "since ERV sessions can lead to dreaming, the viewer will mix dreams with perceptions, and the result is usually less than intelligence-gathering quality, to say the least. n Does this imply that CRV is always of intelligence-gathering quality? I have not seen any evidence to support such a claim. He also implies that dreaming is not desirable, and given the environment in the Ft. Meade unit, 1 would agree. However, for some objectives, psi dreaming can be very accurate, even for a real site or picture objectives. How should the "perfect site integration" or immersion experience - which ERV can resemble - be considered: as only a CRV byproduct, as an overlap into conscious/lucid dreaming terrain, or something else? There is clearly a considerable need for further investigation here. Lyn's concluding comments on Technical Remote Viewing (TRV) and Scientific Remote Viewing (SRV) are appropriate, and the recommendations he makes for validating these commercial techniques are proper. Some of the difficulties with these approaches may also relate to the concepts used, achievements claimed, and interpretations and styles of the practitioners or trainers.

Final Comments

This is an informative book and clearly the result of much hard work and dedication. Lyn's sacrifice of time and energy in writing it are readily sensed. I hope it i read with the qualifiers that Lyn stated in the beginning, and that the useful insights throughout are recognized and are helpful to those who wish to follow the remote-viewing trail and continue the Star Gate odyssey. But J also hope that they do not become "paradigm locked" to only one path that permits reliable access to the psi potential within the subconscious mind.

Dale E. Graff, M.S. (Physics), was instrumental in persuading the Air Force to retain government remote viewing after the CIA cancelled the program's funding in 1975. Dale managed the Air Force's RV effort until it was ended in 1979. He then moved to the Defense Intelligence Agency, where he became the project officer responsible for all oversight of the program within that agency. From late 1990 until his retirement in the summer or 1993, Dale was additionally assigned as unit director/branch chief of the Star Gale operational RV unit at Fort George G. Meade, MD, for a total of 17 years of direct involvement with government RV.
