Kevin's AAB Comments

I am an ex DSS buba. What I would look for in "above and beyond" is Robust OPSEC initiatives, demonstrate how you are complying with the DD-254's that call out unique or special handling. Have a full accountibility for all classified items yes that means an inventory. Keeping the 701 and 702s for at least a year. Holding/sponsering CI or other type security related seminars, classes or  forums. Conducting quaterly self inspections. Having records of beyond NISPOM training (E.g. quaterly vice annual, container locations with managed/current access lists. Emergency action plans that are exercised and in depth. These are just a few things that would elevate an FSO's program above his/her peers in the community. Obviously these thing are hard to do as they effect people and money but gaining the management buy-in is the key. The importance of keeping of these type of records is for investigative purposes. Having these records assist in keeping your programs integrity and can be critical in an espionage case. Real world.. An employee was suspected of a class A felony and was facing prosecution, the records kept at thier place of employment showed that the employee was at work after hours and provided an iron clad alibi. Without an "above and beyond" security program the prosecution of the individual was eminent. I share that as an example of; you never know how a good program, will protect not only the asset but the people in the program. – Kevin
