Actually, the days of the rubber stamp are older than Christ when he was just a Corporal (in the Army, Nichols )

The application approval process is at best arduous and no one individual can rubber stamp you to the USA. The 'foils' that are printed are a royal pain in the Alpha to handle, and are so sensitive they often tear when applying them.

I've done both full tours and various TDYs in places like Tbilisi where Brian was, but life in the fish bowl is often more secure, with or without an MSG, than the common person thinks.

I fully concur with Nichols. This situation regardless of how long ago and where it took place, should be immediately reported.
