Introductions Are In Order

My name is Alexis Prink. That's not actually my real name, but for the sake of my wellbeing, that's what you will know me as. My reason for starting this blog, and, subsequently, my use of an alias, is a desire to share my experiences as a retired member of the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). I have many stories to tell, but I will save that for tomorrow. As for today, I wish to greet you and invite you to follow me as I remember my past.

As a member of the CIA, a lot of my job description dealt with paperwork. However, as I was a member of the NCS (National Clandestine Service) branch, my job dealt with people. I was on the forefront of intelligence gathering as what's called a core collector. This, as you can imagine, involved a lot of travel and more than a few, let's say, awkward moments. My main goal in confiding in you is to tear down the clich'e, glamorous view of the CIA's workings much supported by Hollywood, and replace it with the dangerous reality centered around the United States' wellbeing and protection. If you aren't a patriot, you might find it to be a hard place to work.

For all extensive purposes, this is a work of fiction for your enjoyment. Anything portrayed therein may or may not be an accurate depiction of the actual workings of the CIA.
