Space defense obviously (and by defense I mean finding ways to destroy Chinese satellites while pretending we had nothing to do with it)

You can get all the answers you seek, just join the USSF, go through a Single Scope Background Investigation, pass a Counter Intelligence and Lifestyle polygraph, and then sign papers saying if you ever disclose anything you go to prison.

Short of that, just wait for their first PFC Manning to get your juicy space details online. It’s.. disturbingly likely to happen, too.

The IRR is only for those first 8 years of service. I passed the IRR mark on Active Duty a long long time ago. Plus I’m not medically fit to do anything but shitpost and be a computer janitor. Retired life, best military life.

95% of what the USSF does is classified, or at least details of exactly what they’re doing are classified (Can’t hide that you launched a satellite but you don’t have to say what that bird does for instance, or the X-37b as another example) but that just makes it all sexier and more exciting.

Why even bother?

My CA unemployment is supposed to be filled out entirely online, no paper as per my selection. It's also supposed to end when I stop filling it out cause I go back to work.

CA restarted UI for people who didnt fill it out due to COVID and decided to restart mine. My UI now is being certified on paper when it's not supposed to be, automatically from what I can tell. I am currently getting 1050$ a week and trying to stop it leads in a loop that says stop filling out paperwork when I'm not filling any out and theres no way to email about it. The only way to contact them is a phone call during extremely limited hours that's always busy. I cant imagine if I actually needed it, at least CA is efficient in getting it started. I'm currently not going to touch it until I get back and can set aside a week to get on the phone with UI and give back upwards of $7k.

While pretending that it's the enlisted corps jerking them off, yes.

shame on an IGA posted:

Aaaand there we go.

Gen Lori Robinson, who was frankly the best wing commander I had, got one. After literally killing off an EXTREMELY valuable and difficult to replace enlisted career field. It's been almost twenty years and there is still bitterness in the enlisted C2 communities. And she tried to do it to another one.

PookBear posted:

yeah which as I think godholio pointed out before its dumb because nothing changes other than needing more general officers due to it being its own branch

Basically. The only change is that a lot of poo poo will need to be duplicated (general staffs, training pipelines, basic support functions like finance, etc)

Please, aliens are ineligible by default and Bigfoot has been missing for years - you he has what it takes to return when the country needs him most? There's only one reasonable choice for President in this election, and that is the humble Mothman.

Also in other news, the House finally did what it should have done a month ago and authorized remote voting.

Also Duckworth would be a really solid VP candidate and honestly she's probably one of my top picks, if only for the chance to see her debate Pence (especially if his opinions on Mulan come up)

Oh yeah, I forgot I said Mothman probably last month or so. Mothman is just as hard to find as Bigfoot though.


E: if the house passed remote voting that means they passed that stimulus bill. Now it can die on McConnells' desk as it was destined.

It sucks you are having issues with your UI but at least the issue is getting paid too much rather than the other way around.

It's going to be tricky to fix I think but it should turn out ok. CA is supposed to be ok for UI though, I cant imagine dealing with this in a state that has a poo poo system. They are erring on getting money out to people instead of making this difficult. Never thought I would be so grateful for my state government.

Turns out it's an ordinary missile, but it transmits a constant stream of verbatim Trump quotes at the enemy defenses, shorting out their CPUs with invalid inputs, neutralizing all resistance. The ultimate EW weapon!
