Division!

Ayyy great additions, love to see it

For recruiting you can be covering a broad area - but if you have a family and care about public schools, you probably want to come be in Howard county.

I would hop on Redfin and look at Columbia, Ellicott City, and Elkridge. Elkridge will be the most affordable.

Columbia is extremely family focused, lots of family activities, lots of outdoor spaces, lots of playgrounds - and again, the county schools are excellent. Routinely one of the better counties in the nation; our public school budget is over a billion.

For all the non announcements at AUSA and stuff they announced but isn’t actually happening, leaving this off was weird

Kinmuan

wtf shhhhhh

Fuck military.com

All my homies hate military.com

Kinmuan

Lmao

First, I know it's transient, but they nature of 'north fort hood just gets the shit' needs to stop

Second, u/rbevans and me both have a good working relationship with Hood leadership. While I also encourage you take u/True_Dovakin up on his offer, just know that if you drop info to rbevans, it will get looked at.

Like I get that it's working but is that going to damage it? When something gets 'caught' on that hole and keeps try to agitate, is that dryer gonna get fucked up?

It needs to be dealt with, even if just to patch the hole.

That's because he's a paid ValNet shill who's just here to push stuff from their website that specializes in AI clickbait.

So he's not interested in an objective viewpoint, he's just trying to drive clicks.

Kinmuan

They were bought by Valnet last year.

They destroyed the newsroom and have pushed AI generated clickbait.

We don't allow the domain here, we banned the guy who's paid to post their stuff (/Sgt_Gram), who is one of the new hires.

They have a pending NLRB suit against them for busting up the union and firing a worker who was on orders with the Guard (USERRA violation).

Kinmuan

Holy fuck u/rbevans

Kinmuan

Yeah boingo and the usmc made an announcement like two weeks ago

Kinmuan

Yes. PLDC->WLC->BLC.

The BLC switch happened ~2015.

Kinmuan

They have not put out any further details on any announcement from AUSA.

Kinmuan

This is one of the biggest problems with it. Even if we didn’t sit down and look at the cost, or any other issues, the housing inventory just doesn’t exist at many locations.

Hawaii talked about this – they’re trying to limit CNA with their overcrowded barracks because the housing inventory doesn’t exist. It’s expensive and eventually, we are causing problems with the local population.

Then you look at the mega bases - you’re not going to be able to absorb a hood or a Bragg.

Kinmuan

Like NGC2 they’ll say it’s good regardless of the results and push it out

Kinmuan

Yes. Fort Riley was the first announced pilot location too.

These are the announced pilot locations.
