In the fall of 1976 I was a courier at WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California
. Couriers would take LRHL. Ron Hubbard’s com from LEC and do tail shakes (make sure we weren’t being followed) and drive to the ‘Manor’ in Hollywood. We would go to the top floor of the Manor to the GOAbbreviation for 1. Guardian's Office. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). The Guardian's Office handles certain publics which are its sole responsibility. These publics are as follows: press relations, government relations, special Guardian group relations, opposition group relations, troublesome relations. (BPL 20 May 70 I) (GuardianThe purpose of the Guardian is: to help LRH enforce and issue policy, to safeguard Scientology orgs, Scientologists and Scientology and to engage in long term promotion. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). ) offices, drop off com, pickup com and take the com and any passengers back to WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California. Talk about a great job. I wanted to do that forever. Well, I did that for a month or so when one day a messenger came and told me I was now SupercargoThe Supercargo has general control and authority over Divisions 7, 1 and 2, and Departments 1 to 6, including communications, personnel, inspections, ethics, orders, publications, hand-books, manuals, operators' manuals for equipment, ship plans, crew education, schedules, crew's records, books and papers, shore contacts, entering and clearing vessels. (FO 1109) WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California. I thought, that’s ok, all I have to do after my courier runs was help load and unload stuff. During study time that day I sure found out what an S/C was and I also found out what HFA meant. Now, I was also visibly green. Luckily I had Source. Both green on white and via many many messenger runs. The Old Man took time out of his busy day to help me, to ‘train me up’. I would do com runs to Rifle and when he saw me he always asked how I was doing and would give me encouragement. First order of business was to establish an org boardAbbreviation for organizing board. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). that was workable. The Old Man worked very close with me on that. One day while doing Chinese School on the crew, I thought it boring so I tried to lighten it up with my humor. Although I was proud of myself for being clever I soon got my first adminA contraction or shortening of the word administration, admin is used as a noun to denote the actions involved in administrating an organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). cram. The Old Man was very patient with me.
You all know what gradients are. The Old Man handled me with perfect gradients. Soon I was walking with the swagger of a fully hattedEach org staff member is a specialist in one or more similar functions. These are his specialties. If he is fully trained to do these he is said to be hatted. (HCO PL 28 Jul 72) S/C. The Old Man had a wayof saving some stuff. Well, while everyone was sleeping there was no one looking out for the place(s). He told me there needed to be night security guards. He also told me, in way of an apology I think, ‘if you want something done, give it to a busy man’. (gulp) again. Only now I had big shoulders. By this time, if the Old Man would have said ‘Sarge, dig me a ditch’ you would have found poor ole Sarge in the morning laying on his shovel in a mile long ditch.
The Old Man had the purchaser buy me a duplicator machine and a manual typewriter. He didn’t know I didn’t know how to type. Enter the OODS (orders of the day). The Old Man and Mary Sue and others would postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) regularly. Sorry, again that was fun. One time I got a very polite reprimand from Mary Sue about a postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) that was off color. On a com runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) I apologized and she gave me a little cram…’ Look up the word.’ Good God I liked her. Mary Sue was like a queen. Mary Sue and Nikki , her communicator, used to kid me about Suzette,often. Sorry Suzette but they really did. Woulda, shoulda …..“stupid is as stupid does”.
I had problems with ‘personnel’. I had folders sent me from a terminal in PACAbbreviation for Pacific. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). of prospects to go ‘Over The Rainbow’. Problem was no one passed the GOAbbreviation for 1. Guardian's Office. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). The Guardian's Office handles certain publics which are its sole responsibility. These publics are as follows: press relations, government relations, special Guardian group relations, opposition group relations, troublesome relations. (BPL 20 May 70 I) filter.

These publics are as follows: press relations, government relations, special Guardian group relations, opposition group relations, troublesome relations. (BPL 20 May 70 I) did the right thing I know but I got caught in a ‘catch 22’. By this time, although the Old Man could be patient, he also wanted things done ‘yesterday’ so he could operate. I just didn’t know what to do. I knew he wanted people very much but he had a freeze on key personnel. (that was my justifier for those slow to pick it up). What happened next surprised me. The Old Man did an evalAbbreviation for evaluation. The purpose of an evaluation is to isolate and handle the cause of a non-optimum situation so as to reverse and improve it toward an ideal scene. An evaluation is also done to isolate the cause of a scene which is going well and to reinforce it. (Modern Management Defined (c) L. Ron Hubbard, 1976) (checking data for whys and whos etc). He bypassed everyone. I was reassigned to courier (whew). I did danger. The Old Man never assigned me a lower conditionA condition is an operating state. (SH Spec 62, 6505C25). The Old Man never yelled at me, EVER. I’ve seen it happen to others but never me and ya know, I used to screw up often. Maybe he looked into my heart. I think. Conditions were meant to help you, not invalidate. Conditions are personal. Get help to sort it out but please don’t accept someone else’s viewpoint unless it helps YOU.
After the evalAbbreviation for evaluation. The purpose of an evaluation is to isolate and handle the cause of a non-optimum situation so as to reverse and improve it toward an ideal scene. An evaluation is also done to isolate the cause of a scene which is going well and to reinforce it. (Modern Management Defined (c) L. Ron Hubbard, 1976) (evaluation) we got people! We had to switch from Datsun 210’s to station wagons. I was a courier but now on nights. Life was good. I would deliver com to the GOAbbreviation for 1. Guardian's Office. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). The Guardian's Office handles certain publics which are its sole responsibility. These publics are as follows: press relations, government relations, special Guardian group relations, opposition group relations, troublesome relations. (BPL 20 May 70 I), then walk to the FOLOFlag Operations Liaison Office and sleep for a few hours, then get a wake up call and walk back to the ‘Manor’ about four AM to pickup the com and any sleepy people and drive back to WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California. One day I walked to the FOLOFlag Operations Liaison Office, left a wake up call time and went to sleep in the stinky FOLOFlag Operations Liaison Office men’s dorm. I was suppose to be an SOAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). missionaireThe name missionaire implies someone going out to handle admin, tech, ethics or PR. He goes off to get an org or ship straightened up. (FO 2494). Next thing I knew there were people running around like headless chickens and the sun was up; I was way late in getting up. Boy am I in trouble! I knew I was headed for the RPFAbbreviation for 1. Rehabilitation Project Force. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). The Rehabilitation Project Force has been created by the Commodore so that redemption can occur. (FO 3434). Rule One: Don’t mess with LRHL. Ron Hubbard’s com. I got dressed and went down the hall. Everyone ignored me. I left the front door and men in suits said you can go, have a nice day.
What was happening? I walked down to the ‘Manor’ and decided to use the back door as the front had more suits. I decided to use the stairs and saw no one. Apparently the FBI raid had just happened. It was about 6 AM. When I reached the top floor and walked into the GOAbbreviation for 1. Guardian's Office. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). The Guardian's Office handles certain publics which are its sole responsibility.

(BPL 20 May 70 I) offices I got whews that almost knocked me over. They told me that I was a hero. What? Didn’t mean to be, but its ok. They told me that no one could find me. No one could find me to wake me up. The GOAbbreviation for 1. Guardian's Office. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).

(BPL 20 May 70 I) guys said that because I didn’t show up it kept people there and on alert. When the raid went down, they gathered up some sensitive materials and got them out of there. I met Chuck Adams at a ‘drop’ site and brought com back to WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California. I told my story and, lo and behold by pure accident once again, Sarge was a hero. Life is good again.
