Famous Name Dropping
editDue to the continuing secret nature of Camp X, its work and its alumni, it does not seem proper to name Ian Fleming or any other famous person, this being, until official confirmation or disproof, plain conjecture. Many later celebrities received training at Camp X, although not all were specifically spies, being trained in certain skills required in their MOEs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.13.31.135 (talk) 05:37, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
"Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Camp X served ..."
editWow, it opened on December 6, 1941. So, it served in these important roles for all of ONE DAY. Doesn't this need to be worded better?2600:1004:B16D:AA57:A037:1F9A:164E:564E (talk) 00:34, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

- In the "On This Day" snippet, there is a link to a definition of a different kind of "covert operations" (considering only covert information gathering/spying), while this facility also trained offensive "covert operations" (such as sabotage and other attacks behind enemy lines).2A01:4F0:4018:F0:FCBE:52CC:2157:85D0 (talk) 15:26, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
