In 1985, I was a second class petty officer in the United States Navy serving on an aircraft carrier. I had been sent TAD (Temporary Assigned Duty) to the ship's Supply department. I was designated as the Senior Auditor for Supply & Equipage for the entire ship. I was given one (1) junior auditor. Besides auditing the ship, I was also tasked with creating a training, auditing, and reporting (TAR) program, and then teaching 400 officers, chiefs and enlisted men Navy supply.
Within six months I had sixty-six men give me evidence of fraud, waste and abuse. The crooks (enlisted sailors) threatened to murder me, because my TAR program had ruined their black market schemes. I had to sleep with the very men who were going to murder me.
I blew the whistle to the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), and tried to get off the ship. My brother was friends with a lawyer. The lawyer saved my life. Long story short. I testified to Congress. The NSA threatened to murder me if I didn't stop trying to tell the press what I knew.
Below is the logline. Please go to the script, give it a read, and help me get this story told.
