Rick A. Waters is a disabled Vietnam Veteran who wrote his first book in 2014; a companion piece for his VA claim for long-term memory damage caused by copying high-speed Morse code for Army Intelligence; he was recruited by the National Security Agency with a job waiting in England. Rick Waters discovered two recently declassified redacted NSA documents which explained his problems. He is now on medications which help but do not fix his affliction. Rick is the tip of the melting iceberg of former O5h's who suffer in silence and are denied by the VA. A quest he continues to undertake in earnest! Due to Government restrictions, O5h-20 (The 96% True Journal of a Military Spy) couldn't be written for forty years. His second book took a pedestrian eight months to hammer out; the research involved in writing the Angel Corps was equally as extensive as the first!
