Same story again here. Compiled a brief for my USAF colleagues at their request. Arrived at Wing Briefing Room to be told by policeman that I couldn't go because the briefing was NOFORN. I explained that I was giving the brief to avail. After a long wait, Colonel came out to see where I was and explained the situation to the plod. "Sorry, Sir, it's SECRET NOFORN." Colonel had to do my brief.

Signing out for a RED FLAG sortie to be told I couldn't get airborne until 30 minutes after the start of the vul time because of NOFORN airspace in the ranges. I explained I was leading Blue Air. Same answer. Boss had the answer. "Can you do your first few check ins with an American accent?"
