I guess the Navy needs cabooses..interesting. I wonder if it’s a contractor position or an active duty position. Definitely not sea duty. ?

I can answer as it was a position I had thought about applying for and I have had a friend do that job. This is a position for E-7 and sometimes E-8's, all nukes (ET/EM/MM), those picked go to FLETC down in Georgia and complete the federal LE training course, when complete you are stationed in Pittsburgh (that is what did it in for me), you wear civilian clothes and carry a sidearm, they fly from Pittsburgh to where the pickup is and then ride the train to the destination and then fly back to Pittsburgh, they check their firearm at the counter before flying and pick it up when they land.

It is a good deal if a person wants to go int LE right after as you have already completed the course and are a Federal LE officer.

The bad part for those trying is that if you are able to screen for instructor duty odds are they won't send you.

Even if this vehicle were to exist - of which we have zero evidence (sensors and cameras can be faulty, you know) - what makes you think it’s manned rather than unmanned?

They currently exist, the ones they have are old, this is probably nothing more than needing to replace existing ones due to age and as such someone was able to get money to build one custom.

To be honest these are nuke guys we are talking about so it is probably nothing more than an extra large caboose to handle some massive gaming system.
