OT - Hanoi Hilton - POW Tap Codes
Heard a John McCain stump speech today.
John talked about speaking in tap codes to fellow POWs about a Republican Governor who was trying to get the guys released. That governor was Ronald Reagan. Anybody know how to spell Ronald Reagan in tap code? Is that morse code? --Vic |

We used to teach it in the original SERE school which wasn't called SERE back then - way back then - there. :) Found it. Here's the article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_Code |
