Care to guess again?

Sure. My guess is: your dad wasn't involved in a conflict "so secret" that no one else knew about it--including the US and Vietnam governments, the American public, journalists, and every credible historian since. My guess is, your dad was jerking your chain, or you're making it up. Technically that's 2 guesses, but I'll take the liberty.

P.S. Floating around in the Gulf of Tonkin does not count as "conflict".

SoyChemist writes "When she started her job as a new professor at UC Merced, Michelle Khine was stuck without a clean room or semiconductor fabrication equipment, so she went MacGyver and started making Lab-on-a-Chip devices in her kitchen with Shrinky Dinks, a laser printer, and a toaster oven. She would print a negative image of the channels onto the polystyrene sheets and then shrink them with heat. The miniaturized pattern served as a perfect mold for forming rounded, narrow channels in PDMS — a clear, synthetic rubber."
