During those years, Walter took the opportunity to travel with David Hatcher Childress and the WEX Club to the Mayan sites of central Mexico and the Inca sites of Peru and Bolivia. World travel gave Walter the opportunity to see ancient sites and encounter much interesting exotica, and it also had its share of close calls. Military service was followed by six years as an operational consultant on counter-terrorism, an occupation that took him to the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, Eastern & Western Europe, South America and the Philippines. In 1993, Walter reported to USAF officer training school and served his entire active duty time as a Special Agent of the AFOSI, his longest assignment at Wright-Patterson as a counterespionage agent, during which time he also served on deployment to Saudi Arabia. Walter became a counterintelligence specialist for the Bureau, working in the San Francisco Division, studying Russian while assigned to Baltimore, and then monitoring wiretaps on GRU agents working in Manhattan during the last years of the Cold War. Walter returned to San Diego for college and then briefly worked as a production assistant in the film industry until his mentor got a hold of him and aimed Walter at the FBI. Aside from a second brief try at West Virginia, Walter grew up in the Inland Empire about which he would write many years later. Strange tales of the mysterious Indrid Cold were part of the lore of Walter’s childhood, along with horror movies at the drive-in and UFOs. Walter Bosley was born in San Diego but was quickly transported to Mothman country when his dad packed up the family to return to his hometown of Parkersburg, West Virginia, where Walter spent the first few years of his life before returning to Southern California.
