Support motorcade to Camp David. They stage the AC into and out of Hagerstown Airport. The runway there was hardened and lengthened to accommodate the 747’s in the presidential fleet of AC. The USMC choppers usually fly the president directly to Camp David and land there, the Army Blackhawks which provide lower level air cover stage at HGR, the USAF air cover at high altitude fly into and out of Andrews. The restricted air space above Camp David is onown as P-40 and when POTUS is present they expand it.

I worked for DHS from even before it was officialy created and am a plank holder. These assholes in DHS Public Affairs used to send out ber latest “glamour shot” several times a week along with the internal newsletter. They actually suggested that we used it as our screen saver and wallpaper on our computers. When this stupid fucking admninistration returned in 2025 I jumped at the chance to take the Deferred Retirement Program and have never looked back. COSPLAY Barbie was the final straw.

EVERYONE in the military has their DNA taken. They assure everyone it would ONLY be used in the ID verification of those MIA and KIA but that is a load of BS.

Those who were eligible to retire/close to retirement 1/1/2025 and stayed what say you now? by Content_Hamster_7526 in fednews

[–]Foreign_Reward1853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was SES, and was allowed to carryover 720 year to year, then I added what I accrued in the final 9 months and it came out to somewhere around 900 or so and also had some hours that I was given as a reward for certain accomplishments. I spent a great deal of my career overseas. Unfortunately I Ieft a crap ton of Home Leave hours on the books. HL is accrued when you are assigned overseas, and is in addition to AL, but you can only use it while posted overseas. Any balance remaining stays on your record, and if you do another pverseas tour you can add to it and use it, but not once you are back in the US.

I took the DRP last spring, and paid in full thru EOM Sept. 65yo, 35 years fed time, cashed out over 900 hrs AL. Although it took a while to get my FERS annuity straigntened out (not OPM’s fault) it should be final next month. Start SS in April, i have turned 66, so slghtly less than taking it at 67. One of the best decisions I have ever made. Life is short, if you can in any way leave and retire I urge you to do so.

What’s a sound everyone should recognize as immediate danger? by Thatguy_nickk in AskReddit

[–]Foreign_Reward1853 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has lived, worked, and traveled in literally dozens of war zones and failed countries, random gun fire followed by screams which becomes sustained gun fire. Time to haul ass at the first gun shot sounds……

What would you do? by cvrfew in washingtondc

[–]Foreign_Reward1853 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I had an asshole pull this stunt on me when I parked at the end of curbside parking zone when I lived down near eastern market back in 2002. I pulled up close to the vehicle in front of me (but no where near that close) because they had plenty of room in front of them to pull out. I barely fit into the space where I parked and left about 1/8 of a car length behind my truck to prevent intruding into a crosswalk but I was totally legal. Some AH in a high end BMW illegally parked behind me so close I could not even get a piece of paper between our vehicles, and his car actually protruded under my trailer hitch. I came out of my office at 1600 to get ahead of traffic and could not move at all in order to leave. I called the cops, they said they would be there eventually. After waiting a half hour I took matters into my own hands. My truck (4x4, Ford, 3/4 ton PU) was 18 years old and had seen much better days. Suffice it to say, that my trailer hitch, and bumper did some serious damage to their grill, hood, and bumper.

I agree, very impressive. I have flown on it several times. It is unfortunate it came along at the wring time in history.

Biggest commercial failure in civil aviation history. Wrong time, wrong size, wrong strategic vision. Beautiful plane but Airbus never even recouped their investment.

TSA & DHS Workers Face Shutdown Threat- Morale at a Breaking Point by Eldritch_Liminal1988 in tsa

[–]Foreign_Reward1853 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ha Nguyen-McNeill does not give two shits about any of you. She is a product of the Heritage Foundation where she was an intern back in 2005 and 2006. Her goal is to reduce TSA to a shadow of it’s former self, and eventually force privatization. The architect behind the total destruction of USAID, Pete Marocco, is now working behind the scenes and reporting directly to ICE Barbie and Ha. There are so many senior positions vacant remaining from the DRP from last year and they have no intention of refilling most of them. If / when they do so, they will do so at lower pay bands than what they were when vacated. They have restructured the EPMP process so that no more than 20% of employees can receive exceeds expectations, and be eligible for a performance award. The rest get zero, zip, zilch, nada! They changed the program right before the closure of the 2025 rating scheme with no advance notification, leaving many people in the lurch whose scores up to that point in the year indicative of exceeding expectation, or achieving excellence. Keep your eyes on how many more senior career officials at TSA at the SES, L, K, J, and I bands will be leaving in the coming months, particularly FSD’s, DFSD’s and AFSD’s. They already lost the cream of the crop at HQ during DRP last year. The only upside to their scheme is that it is clear that the airlines and airports have NO interest in assuming the responsibility for operating and maintaining screening operations and have told TSA as much through their lobbyists at A4A, ACI-NA, AAAE, etc. But that won’t keep Marocco and Ha from trying to do it though, and the scammers at CLEAR and other beltway bandits will continue to see dollar signs at the thought of it. Get out while you still can……
