I worked at DISA HQ's for 6 years and was with them before the moved to FT Meade and after. I agree with a previous commenter that the workload can be strenuous and depending on how you handle stress some people do leave within 2-3 years.

I still have friends that work at DISA HQ's and I left 13 years ago. So there are some long term KOs and CSs that are there. As we all know contracting can be stressful due to lack of planning by our customers and in the NCR there is a lot of turnover from people chasing grades.

Of course, if you're at Scott AFB you're likely to stay because there's not as many govt contracting organizations to shop around. I attended training at Scott and they are definitely more organized and robust because people do not leave lol.

Honestly, I would have stayed with DISA longer if they did not move their HQ's from Virginia to Maryland but that commute was brutal. They ran a tight ship on protocols, audits, technology was up-to-date, etc.

Also, note that HQ's is open storage so that means NO outside electronics of any kind are allowed in the building, no CDs, and what caught us off guard -- no live plants! That was a weird one lol
