    ? totally valid reason

    NFO or 4million bucks?

    Here's what I tell folks who ask "Should I join?" USN (or whoever) is gonna get their pound of flesh from you. What are you going to get in return? What will you have at the end of your service that you didn't have before? If you don't know, don't join up until you do. If you're aiming...

    to be sure, 7 permanent medical, 400 temp medical (i.e., you'll get the shot later) and 134 admin exemptions (I have an approved retirement/separation request, etc) FAFO with your GUH, indeed.

    ADHD, Meds, & Military Service

    Lots of ways to serve.
  17. squorch2

    ADHD, Meds, & Military Service

    Yes. USN considers ADHD disqualifying for all service. Maybe - depends on what your waiver application says and who screens the waiver application.

    Navy Reserve COVID Vaccinations by October

    Yeah… their vocal attitude drove a huge (relative) uptick in exemption requests, which were just peachy to deal with. tbh if you’re a CO and have told ISIC you do plan to not comply with an order, why not relieve right there?

    Back on stated topic - my NOSC CO is an avowed vax denier, and anticipated DFC in November/December. that’s certainly a decision.

    An impossible ask . . . .

    Not the end of the CENTCOM CVN rotation?

    Old school computing paradigms and stodgy DON execs / flags. Flank Speed is a big part of USN’s IT modernization effort, but only a part - e.g., there are ~40 legacy pay and personnel management applications that are challenging to migrate. (There was a failed early 2000s joint pay/personnel...

    Great thing about cloud is that‘s temporary at worst - Flank Speed is already cleared for FOUO, CUI, LES, etc.

    That’d be the case if it wasn’t endpoint protection apps scanning the whole disk over and over.

    Not the end of the CENTCOM CVN rotation?

    This is indeed the bottleneck. Assuming a 1:3 laptop-to-desktop ratio, there are about 300,000 NMCI desktop endpoints that need SSDs. 500 GB SSD is about $50 retail, so about $15M for parts. The difficult parts are contract change fees & endpoint integrity checks. (i.e., you can't just copy...

    Not the end of the CENTCOM CVN rotation?

    Sorta - still gotta have those endpoints. Flank Speed is DOD-compliant office in the cloud (M365, nee O365).
  43. squorch2

    Not the end of the CENTCOM CVN rotation?

    Lol no. JEDI/JWCC was/is about JADC2 - desktop VMs don’t really factor into any of it. don’t take my word for it tho - read the required capabilities document: https://sam.gov/opp/54ce941a25a14932809b5d83ac52a09a/view

    A decision to make

    Here’s the real takeaway - and it’s applicable to everyone who flies for Uncle Sam regardless of their intended 2nd careers. OP, if you want to serve, serve. if you want to fly jets, well, you’re there already.

    Highwater FITREP Burden

    it's Amazon firms can ask if you're pregnant, too - it's a very bad idea since there's no legal way to use that information, so collecting it implies illegal discriminatory behavior. 2a) this field differs from veteran self-identification, which is required by law.
