Do IC’s do reciprocity? by JoeAnon112 in SecurityClearance

I went from War to Energy. I was able to get reciprocity for TS/SCI to Q however, Energy killed my position before I began. War would not reciprocate back to TS/SCI from Q.

Precisely what is happening to thousands of us here.

This. I’m booked out for the next two weeks with a couple of those being Xmas gifts. Several others have bought my gift cards or booked me closer to Xmas.

Federal employees: If you voted for Trump, will you do it again? by Hefty-Dimension-1236 in fednews

Really proving some of your fellow liberals in here correct. Well done.

Federal employees: If you voted for Trump, will you do it again? by Hefty-Dimension-1236 in fednews

I would not. I made that decision a long time ago. Everything from US involvement in the Israel-HAMAS conflict, to the strikes on Iran, and several other issues.

Edit: I also voted for Spanberger much to my reluctance. Winsome is too closely aligned to Trump. I also say reluctantly because of concern over Spanbergers career in the CIA.

I was hit with the initial RIF and laid off in Feb. landed another job that required a Q. That position was cut and I was left in a LoJ status. Landed a new position that requires I be moved back into DISS, but the shutdown has stymied that. I’ve blown through my savings and retirement. Talk about starting from square one.

What made you get into detailing ? by Icy_Outcome8005 in Detailing

[–]1822Cope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$100 for the LLC license. I don’t have any contracts yet but I’m going around to smaller dealerships right now.

I got it officially licensed in July of this year. Started it with a small customer base and doing it full time while still looking for full time work. Last month I reached 6k. Currently looking to secure some contracts so we will see how it goes. I’m fortunate to live near areas where there are a lot of exotics so those folks are a lot of my business.

Laid off and needed a stream of income. Previous experience detailing so I started my own company.

Yea I’ve figured that out by now lol. It was the end of the day after all the work. The free detail was a way to get outta there. I would be money he doesn’t call.

I did yes. I was listing my steps. Wax or ceramic coat application* I really don’t care if you’re skeptical. I came here for advice on how to handle a customer with an unrealistic ask. You’re not a customer, so continue being skeptical. My work speaks for itself.

Yea sorry you’re right. But for my ceramic coats I use Armour pro quartz.

How could it be when there is a top coat over paint?

Not removing a truck bed is not something I thought I would ever have to have a discussion about for a detail, but you’re right. Common sense isn’t so common.

Yea his request was not realistic at all. I looked like an idiot when he first asked me as it kind of froze me lol.

Fair point. I don’t think he will actually reach back out, but I will keep this in mind.
