[Spooks] Sky King msgs

Wed, 20 Feb 2002 16:45:21 -0800

Hi:

When Pearl Harbor was attacked and the US entered W.W.II,  it took many days or weeks for the other parts of the US command to realize that we were at war.  The EAM, which is repeated using many communication methods, not just voice, is a way for all the US troops to
know of a change in our status.
