You did not answer my question. Where did I claim that I was a member of NCIS or SWCC?

lksteve made an earlier comparison that is a more accurate interp on me than CBA. Though I absolutely agree CBA is at least related because I feel Totally Cool and Special :D with all these cool coins and patches, not to mention my very own SF shirt which is completely bad-a*s. (seeeeeee, we femmes don't try to deny the existence of emotions)
lksteve's comparison was:

He made this comparison right before I left on a trip. I have never seen True Grit, but I Google'd it when I returned and found:
"Central to all Portis's novels are abiding concerns for standards of decency in human conduct, fair play, justice, self-reliance, adaptability, restlessness, and the need to be attached to a place and a group of kindred souls.
All of these concerns surface in True Grit, many of them in the person of Mattie Ross, the self-reliant youngster from near Dardanelle in Yell County, Arkansas, who will brook nothing short of revenge for the murder of her father by the restless and uprooted farm hand Tom Chaney. Naive as she is in her current year when she sets out to set the collective teeth of PS.com on edge, FS must learn how to deal with adults and institutions, a never-ending process and to exact from them fair play, whether it be in horse-trading or man-hunting. That same sense of fair play lies behind Ray Midge's attempt to retrieve his Ford Torino and his wife when Guy Dupree takes both of them and leaves behind his old 1963 Buick Special (The Dog of the South, 1979). At the end of his chase, in Belize, British Honduras, to recover his car and wife, Ray takes a room in Fair Play Hotel, ironically named as things turn out. "
