1. (U) Political FSN contacted the Royal Thai Navy's
Personnel Data Center, the Royal Thai Supreme Command's
Directorate of Joint Personnel, the Ministry of Defense's
Office of Personnel and the Naval Air Division at Sattahip
Royal Thai Naval Base. None of these offices have a record
of a "Direk Promwichal" who signed the end user document
outlined in reftel. Captain Kritsada of the Royal Thai
Navy's Air Division's Logistics arm notified FSN that "Direk
Promwichal" is no longer a member of the Royal Thai Navy and
should not have been authorized to sign an end user
certificate. He indicated that Direk Promwichal is now an
administrator for a company doing business as "Aero Hitech
Company." A check of the Thai Ministry of Commerce's
Department of Business Development's webpage does not/not
show a listing for "Aero Hitech."
