On another note, when I first started working in Hawaii, we had a guy from my company working in the same building on a military base.  One day, just before he was to submit his application to renew his security clearance, he sent a letter around the office informing everyone he was a part time transvestite who occasionally liked to wear women's clothing late at night to go clubbing.  Everybody in the office was like, "WTF?"

He was apparently concerned that if he tried to keep it a secret, those evaluating his clearance could deem that fact a risk -- such as being blackmailed into disclosing info to keep his activities private. The letter was his way of eliminating that risk.

After his clearance was approved, and his security interviewer told him being a transvestite wasn't grounds for denial, he sent around a second letter claiming the first was a practical joke,   

He was not the most attractive of men, so imagining him in a skirt was a huge mind bender.


He was a very nice guy, and sadly he was found deceased in a hotel room just after his 50th birthday from natural causes -- most likely brought on by heavy alcoholism.

I never saw him in his female attire, and I'm glad I didn't.  I'd hate to have that memory of him over the ones I do have.

Self hate among the SSAD afflicted is common, as is suicide.  By direct choice or by lifestyle.

Was more than a few good reasons why homosexuals were not given security clearances.  Not very well balanced people.

I can't vouch for his lifestyle in detail.  The only aspect I knew of that was abnormal was the reported cross-dressing.  never saw it for myself (thankfully).  I never felt any need to pry into his life. 

When our company managers went to look for him after he didn't show up for work 2 days in a row, they discovered his home in Wahiawa was a pig sty covered wall-to-wall with empty beer cans and bottles.

The hotel room was rented during the time his mother and father were visiting, we assume because his own place wasn't presentable/inhabitable. 

We didn't know where he was until someone in the hotel reported a .... smell.   

The medical examiner ruled the death natural causes.  No suicide.  Unless you want to count drinking oneself into poor health.  It appeared he'd taken a shower, lay down on the bed and just expired.

Joe Rogan lays down some truth (vid from 4 years ago).

Gotta say that The Joe Rogan Experience podcasts are interesting.

Enjoy!
