Update: When I was figuring out a decryption for the numerical chains above, I tested if the number 007 should be used. I decided since it wasn't a post-count number that it should not. When I was testing it I came up with:
007:G
5:E
63:K
GEK: KEG
KEG was too obscure compared to the other terms, which helped to direct me away from using the name-number.
While walking up a staircase yesterday, I looked over my shoulder (for whatever reason) and caught two words on the back of a boy's jacket: KEG DEPT. (or KEG DEPARTMENT). I see the word KEG maybe once every 5 years or more. Not a common word for me. The very next word I saw was on a man's shirt: D.A.R.E. (first the connection with drugs/alcohol, second D.A.R.E. anagrammatically becomes R.E.A.D., an instruction to focus my attention to words on clothing).
BOND/DEPARTMENT
DC DEPARTMENT
U.S. STOCKS AND BONDS/FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT: clue
