Given the number of alphabet soup acronyms in the military, I updated the Prologue of this story to include a glossary, especially of acronyms.
I have tried to keep it as simple as possible, such as speaking of NSA rather than NAVSECGRUACTLANTFLTDET (Naval Security Group Activity Atlantic Fleet Detachment). Believe me, it scared me the first time I saw an abbreviation like the latter, and immediately understood it!
