Wrenn School......JKO the letters of my first name....middle name and
last.....jko is much easier for me to use in signoff. Those intials have
been seen all over the world during the last 33 years...I've place them on
on documents from SEA.....South East Asia......to FRG....Federal Republic
of Germany.

If you wish I will send you several large files loaded with abv's names
connected to the USG....United States Government. However, if your
joining this newsgroup to learn....you should make the effort to do your
own internet searchs of USG abv's and definitions.....that is where I
obtained alot of mine....plus I have access to USG publications, which
have many.

Since one of the questions concerns BOP...which is the "Bay of Pigs" I
suggest that one of your group head to the USDS....United States
Department of State web page....and look for the FRUS.....Foreign Relation
of United States files....in this case look for the ones between 1960 and
1963 dealing with Cuba.....in those files you will find a very interesting
list of names and abv's....The AF...Air Force web page also has lists...as
well as the USN and USA sites.

Looking at the FRUS files between 1960 and 1963 related to JFK you will
learn a very large amount of information concerning the BOP as well as the
CMC...Cuban Missile Crisis.

Ya got to have a program...to tell who's on first.

let me know and I will send you the files...if you have limited access to
internet search.
