This wouldn't be the first time I heard of a US Military dude prank-call someone.

yeah, but the story doesn't add up for just a prank call.

Hmmm... tracking down the dude as he flew across the country seems outside the scope of a prankster.
Well, now I'm neutral on the subject. There's details that make me disbelieve the story. But tracking down the author and finding the right phone number to call him seems like a feat that would require decent resources.
Basically: that's a level of effort that goes well above and beyond a typical prank call.
It is odd that the writer refers to them specifically, they have no connection with the actual NSA of which I'm aware.
