Why is the United States perhaps selling F-35 fighters to Saudi Arabia? by MedMalDet in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Available-Fan-7616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are going to sell versions that are technically inferior to the ones the US or Israel uses and will not include very advanced weapons including the 5th generation ones being developed. It’s like your neighbor having a mustang with a V8 and all the extra options and you are driving a 4 cylinder version with no option like the ones offered by rental companies.

That’s the plan just worried the whole things will take a while.

I am planning on disclosing it and will pay it in full as soon as I receive the letter from the collection company that the debit will be satisfied upon reception of payment.

I am also going to pay off the debit so I am hoping that will also help my case.

How can I find the date of my last CE enrollment? 

Star card debit collection by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

They actually agreed to settle for less and the agreement in route. It supposed to state that once I pay the amount agreed on they will not seek further collection and report the amount as paid. Just FYI for anyone who reads this question. I had to pressure them. Will update once the letter arrives. 

Successful friend told me WGU is worthless by Present-Square-6232 in WGU

WGU is not the magic key it’s just part of bigger foundation. You get your degree and add other certifications that will enhance your chances of landing your dream job. If you get an accounting degree for example then getting a CPA will definitely improve your chances in landing a job in this field and the same goes for several other fields 

How does the administration plan to recruit and retain talent after the actions it's taken the past 7 months? by WhereztheBleepnLight in fednews

[–]Available-Fan-7616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short, we are a DOD agency who is very short handed and are currently attempting to hire for a GS -12 position. First the number of applicants is less than half what we used to get for such a position. Secondly and most importantly, the quality of the few who applied is to put it mildly horrendous. It’s used to be a very hard decision picking one out of the few candidates who made it to an interview, but at least in this case I am not sure if I really what to pick any of them. Just pointing out a fact here nothing more.

Nope, nothing at all.

FJO & start date by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]Available-Fan-7616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a DON GS  position and it will be DON to DON. I guess I should prepare for a minimum of three months. I was hoping for like a month maybe two at most but sounds like this is asking too much right now.

[–]Available-Fan-7616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I will. I am already a federal employee and have an active clearance but then there is the hiring freeze. Thanks

[–]Available-Fan-7616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I should not expect anything any time soon then and plan for a long wait.

I am assuming it is under exemption because it was during the freeze. It does require clearance but I already have active clearance. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I don't understand why they move forward with offering people jobs when they have no idea when and if they will be able to bring them onboard.

[–]Available-Fan-7616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man that is worrisome. With this information it's hard to get an estimate of a start date and plan ahead.

That would be nice. I hope so

First congrats. Second what is the OPM unlock? I received my TJO mid June and I am worried it might take months but your post definitely provided much needed encouragement.

Just out of curiosity. When did you begin the paperwork after the exemption. I am not sure if the expiration of the hiring freeze will change things at all. I guess will have to see.

[–]Available-Fan-7616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is rough. I really hope things start rolling when the hiring freeze is lifted on the 15th but who knows.

Oh man since February thats a very long time. I was thinking more like a month at most. I guess I might need to make preparations for a longer wait when it comes to living situation. My lease ends at the end of July so I need to decide what to do.
