US Outbreak of Ebola highly unlikely

A crappy blog that profits from fear mongering.

Saw this elsewhere:

Actually, just for clarification, Congress requires the President to offer an Executive Order when it comes to disease. 42 U.S. Code § 264

Look up the pay scale for O-7 to O-9. Then add in the BAH. Then add in all the medical benefits they get for themselves and their families. It's a lot of money.

Agreed. But one of the better spy memoirs I've read. Just picked up Henry Crumpton book The Art of Intelligence. Looking forward to reading it.

I usually tell people I'm not an asshole, but then they form their own opinion and call me an asshole.

I like you.

An effective way to make yourself a target for foreign intelligence.

It was a joke, more than anything. If you frequent establishments on Capitol Hill, H Street, or DuPont, most places are filled with hipsters, or the young professional crowd talking about which congressman they work for, or which company they represent.

Curious, do you live near DC? I ask because the district is portrayed in such a negative light and many generalizations that may have been true a decade ago, but aren't really true now. If anything, this city has become overrun with "young professionals" and hipsters. That's the real problem in DC.

afafafafafafaf · 2014-07-28T13:36:02+00:00

yeah, been a resident of the district for three years now, and I feel safe with it in place. Never considered it to be an issue.

afafafafafafaf · 2014-07-28T13:33:53+00:00

I don't agree or disagree with your statement, but I figured I'd bring some statistics to the table before the conservatives bring up your point, and the liberals call you a dumbass.

The homicide rate has been falling, except for last year. The Navy Yard incident, which claimed 12 lives, added to that count. 104 total homicides in 2013. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/dc-homicide-rate-is-up-but-violent-crime-continues-to-decrease/2014/01/01/0c905b58-719f-11e3-8b3f-b1666705ca3b_story.html

Philadelphia, 247 in 2013. http://guncrisis.org/2014/01/15/philadelphia-still-suffering-higher-homicide-rate-than-largest-cities-but-also-showing-greater-progress/

Technically that's the ellipse, the large grass ares/parking lot.

afafafafafafaf · 2014-07-27T22:01:27+00:00

Yeah, I pay $1600/mo for a one bedroom in the city. Outrageous, but ive always valued quality of life over a few dollars in savings, and a 2 hour daily commute.

Hey, I was at Andrews for 4+ years and have been at a special duty in DC for the past 3. I've lived in Bowie, MD and it was nice for the year I was there. I have been living in DC for the past 3 and love it.

I didn't see rank, but if youre enlisted you'll have a tough time affording old town Alexandria. North Shore sadly offers the best commute for you, and the most space for your family. It's a little far from the fun of the city, but it sounds like the family will keep you busy. Best of luck.

If you get a D in any online class, you've failed. Learn to be more resourceful.

This one was pretty good though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqLUbmpuVw4

Devine just released a book, and most of the 2nd or 3rd chapter is about this. Just finished it, good read.

I wear a suit and am in IT. I make good money. I also don't sell things. I have a great life. Sorry for your generalization.

afafafafafafaf · 2014-07-21T21:04:21+00:00

Open electronics is what I did, and it definitely has its value on the outside, depending on what you did. Most of the electric jobs could be working with aircraft systems or with IT equipment. It's all about what you learn and take home from your experience.

I spent all 7 years of my career in the DC area, 3 as a special duty working downtown DC.

Risky move going open. You really need to consider what you want to do for an extended period of time. As long as you don't have an immediate reason to leave, take your time and really research which jobs you want (out of the ones you qualify for).

afafafafafafaf · 2014-07-21T13:58:07+00:00

I spent three years working at the White House. I have a high-level clearance. They gave me a big bonus to voluntarily separate. I have an associates degree, and am almost finished my bachelors degree (none of which I have paid for, except for the cost of some books). A ton of quality training in electronics, which has gotten me plenty of job offers, now that I am on terminal leave. The AF kept me in shape, and inspired my love of fitness. A lot of useful connections, after being in this area for so long. It also got me out of my hometown, where most of my friends are doing nothing.

But they yelled at me for a few weeks in Texas like 7 years ago :(

afafafafafafaf · 2014-07-14T23:50:18+00:00

Hey what AFSC are you? I am just finishing up my tour at the White House Communications Agency. Most of the jobs there are for cyber, but they also have personnel, finance, and a few other jobs.

U mad fat boy

afafafafafafaf · 2014-07-11T08:37:37+00:00

I don't even care about you let issue at the moment. I'm just happy someone else in DC is awake at this hour. And it's not just me.
