Admiral is giving updates now.

PT test for military cancelled for Spring.

Hair standards can go out the window as they just closed the barbershop in the building.

All advancement tests and Chiefs boards are cancelled until the winter. - Good way for the Government not to spend more money on raises right now.

To all the joffs in this thread, his hypocrisy needed to brought to light, that's why I mentioned it. I'm not the one "oh I have 39k posts, look at me" You should be ashamed of yourself, not bragging about it.
sas, I had you on a medical clearance off the joff list. The clearance has been revoked, you are back on.

I have another employee who probably would have received a "needs Improvement" too but she was working another job for most of the year before transferring up here. She is an idiot when it comes to troubleshooting PCs but my old boss asked me to save her from the position being cut.

With the stripped down OS and stringent app installation guidelines, what sort of troubleshooting could possibly be needed?

We used to have separate installers for our federal installs, and it was pretty flawless.

Love how detail oriented you are.

Largest portion of state was under Federal Army Control and were prevented from seceding and many arrested. Some argued the powers that Lincoln used violated the Constitution, they did vote to not allow Union soldiers to be in Maryland and for the Union not to use any railroads in Maryland.

I will say the Urban Baltimore-DC is no longer Southern, but Annapolis and many of the Western parts have stayed true to their Antebellum days.
