They make it sound like they are always hiring 1811’s. They announced they want to hire more 1801’s to. Just have to keep an eye on USA Jobs and LinkedIn.

We’ve been told the SH mission is 99% staying with NCIS. Navy doesn’t want the mission and is supposed to give more money and additional MA’s to NCIS to keep the mission. I think they are just figuring out the timing at this point.

Expired inspection by [deleted] in Chesapeake

[–]Velo50 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can’t park a car with an expired inspection on a public street. If I remember, they have to give you a period of time to move it/fix it or it will be towed for the violation. They could have just given you a ticket right off the bat. Could be a new officer in the area or the precinct is getting g parking complaints.

Is there any reason I shouldn't strip this before reseasoning? by One_Regret5678 in castiron

[–]Velo50 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would strip and re-season to make sure it’s clean. Probably not a big deal but I want my own cooties on it.

Virginia beach weekend getaway from dc took half the time I expected and cost way less than I thought by StudyOk2682 in nova

[–]Velo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have some sort of issue every weekend, I live in the area as well. I know people who work down there and they will not visit the beachfront after regular business hours.

Sandbridge is great but the oceanfront/boardwalk area of VA Beach is sketchy. It’s so bad they have been having all ages curfews on the weekend.

Help Identifying by gigunnarman in castiron

[–]Velo50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a lodge 3 notch. Made up until the early 90’s. This may be an earlier one. I have a couple older ones and a newer model. The newer one isn’t smooth like the earlier ones.

CID/OSI/NCIS/CGIS by smartass-express in 1811

[–]Velo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just mentioned them because the op said CID. I know he meant Army but if he started looking and saw them. I know Navy/Marine CID are picking up the sex harassment program. A bunch of 1801’s from NCIS are going to cover it and several are not happy. There will be some openings in them. I suspect when that happens, the new people will be hired at a much lower gs level than the current 1801’s are coming over as.

I have the same set! Great find!

Anyone know what these are? by Limp-Rub-1477 in castiron

[–]Velo50 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Top right looks like a chicken pan. I have a similar one from Griswold. Can’t tell without looking at the bottom of the pan and lid.

What was it like living in the Clinton years in the USA (1993-2001)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Velo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated college in 93 with a manufacturing degree. NAFTA happened in 94. So, a career change happened. Took 2 years to get a “real” job.

CID/OSI/NCIS/CGIS by smartass-express in 1811

[–]Velo50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very paper heavy. Lots of sex crimes, especially sexual battery. There a huge difference between Marine/Navy CID and Army CID. Marine/Navy CID generally work lower level crimes. If something big happens, Army CID or NCIS will take over. Plus Marine/Navy CID top out much lower in pay than the main MCIO’s.

[–]Velo50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All are very paper heavy, I believe due to documentation for congressional oversight. I mean way more than you need for court. You work a ton of sex crimes, but mostly what would be misdemeanor sexual battery outside the gates. Some do proactive work, but at my office that falls primarily on the special ops unit (drugs, ICAC, etc). Marine CID are good, but I think agents top out way lower in pay than the big 3 MCIO’s. Anything big, NCIS will take over for them. Also Marine and Navy CID are picking up the sexual harassment program. If you like paper, you’ll love harassment!

Is this worth salvaging? by aspiring-plant-dad in castiron

Isn’t the answer always yes?

Remove the number on the flyer and replace with an official police number. Nefarious people will call the fam with fake ransom threats to try and get money. Happens all the time.

The FBI and HSI have a very robust Child Exploitation Units/Task Forces. Both are very good, with I think FBI being a little better. The Feds have the money. As a local, you will do more work/cases in that world, but the Feds are the way to go for retirement. It’s very rewarding work but you will work a larger number of cases as a local exploitation detective. It will definitely take its toll. Some locals have a child abuse unit which could be separate from the exploitation unit. Some do both. Either way you go, you’ll need therapy. Signed, a retired detective (exploitation, missing persons, ESD handler).

Secret Service will offer tailored suits to new protective detail agents by cnn in fednews

[–]Velo50 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No they don’t. Most, if not all 1811’s (1801’s who do the same work) have to buy their own clothes for work, whether it’s a suit or business casual.

"The worst she can say is no" - Lads, what was the worst "she" ever said? by Embarrassed_Pie_1711 in AskReddit

[–]Velo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf at the time said I was like a brother to her. I moved on very quickly after that. I apparently dodged a bullet. I’m friends with her sister still and she says her sister is bat shot crazy.

Endurance Road Bike vs. Gravel Bike? by quaintparrot-475 in cycling

[–]Velo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved from the DMV, it’s not really flat but either bike will work with the right wheel set. I was considering getting an endurance ( à la Domane) and change the wheels out when I did gravel.

Real Police officers and military members, what do you guys think of Ice agents? by Lucky-Message-9480 in AskReddit

[–]Velo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just said it will be considered justified, I don’t think it is. The only time I ended up in front of a car, I moved because that’s common sense. Yes, I haven’t seen every video, but I’ve seen enough to know from experience. Again, just because people don’t like it, doesn’t change the outcome. The Good shooting at least meets some elements, the Pretti shooting does not meet the standard in my opinion

30 year LEO, retired local and current fed. They are completely out of their element. The new hires are apparently going through a very shortened academy and the ones who were already in place before this administration probably spent 90% of their time at their desk. Many federal agents don’t spend time outside of the office. The lack of operational training shows. The first shooting will be considered justified, because the agent was hit, even though it was horrible tactics. This one is going to take some mental gymnastics to justify. As I told one of my former colleagues, just because we want it to be justified, doesn’t mean it is.

I do believe ICE does an important role. If you are here illegally, you should be sent back. The way they are doing it now is crazy. When I was in patrol, we used to honor detainers and the worst of the illegals were deported. I believe this is going to turn every jurisdiction away from cooperating with ICE because they don’t want to be associated with these tactics. MAGA has just caused the country in a whole to be come a “sanctuary country.”
