Performance data, at least in my slice of the DoD, is sent up through the channels weekly. "Pule checks," most likely don't need to happen weekly, which is the current guidance from the SECDEF. There's something more nefarious than that. As someone who signs timecards as a supervisor, I can promise that there are no "dead people" collecting paychecks in the DoD. If any employees' timecard is even remotely late by a day, my timekeeper is bitching at me to ensure it gets filled out, filled out, signed, and certified. My masters is in cybersecurity with a focus on AI/ML. I know what Elon is doing. He's been granted unfettered access to gobs of government data he can force feed into his Grok 3.0 AI. He's using the responses for Grok for it to conduct learning and validating with the data it's given and eventually create org charts of the entire government agencies. If people are using canned bullets and just swapping out the data points because they do the same job as multiple people, Grok could eventually recommend terminating positions it feels are "redundant." I'm willing to bet within 5-10 years Elon is going to somehow have a government-compatible AI to use for all governmental agencies, to include classified information compatibility. Why? Because privatization of the federal government is what the Trump Administration wants. Elon also wants to dismantle all the government agencies that give his companies grief, which is being pretty successful doing. "Create the venom to sell the antidote." I sent my five bullets in yesterday. I also encrypted my response. I received a curious response that the receiver of the email couldn't decrypt my email. Sounds like a problem for them.

It’s not. They received a list to terminate those employees Friday. The a federal judge said OPM can only hire and fire employees that work in OPM and only agencies can hire and fire their own employees. I have a feeling that those employees, and myself, will be fired this week.

It’s lower than that, $106,382. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/01/07/what-the-data-says-about-federal-workers/

KC-135 is around 10K with four engines. I’d suspect the 390 is around 7-8K

Factor in the fuel burn of the 390, so it’ll be even less.

Most of the helicopters pilots I met while I was in the USAF, especially at Fairchild, were either retarded, deaf, or both. I did meet a few who weren't, but that was a rarity. Thanks for your subjective POV.

That depends. Do they work in a SCIF? Are they the UPC? Are they the SES in TRANSCOM? It’s also not a “pulse check” when they want it every Monday.

50K+ of fuel, not altitude.

You think that's going to refuel heavies at 50K+ with fuel?

He’s done a few episodes with Preet Bhara’s podcast, Stay Tuned. Here is his latest one which was right after the election. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-tuned-with-preet/id1265845136?i=1000677749919

I was told that two of my GS-07s were going to be released today, so I told them Wednesday instead of waiting for them to receive a bullshit email from "The Agency" signed by someone who didn't even know them. Yesterday I was told that I was on a list to be released. Today I was told that the two GS-07s haven't received a release notice and neither have I, so we might not be released yet? Who the fuck knows what's going on.

They need to get that weazel Russ Vought to testify under oath since he's now running OMB, but he'll probably act like an incredulous douche like he did during his Senate confirmation hearing.

No way.... https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/business/elon-musk-faa-air-traffic-control-failing-spacex/index.html

You have serious doubts that the biggest technocrat of all time, who helped start OpenAI, would take all of those responses DOGE received and run them through AI for model-based learning for his own Grok 3.0 AI to make who knows what decisions with it? If you believe he wouldn’t do that, then I have some ocean front property in Wyoming to sell you…

First, the DoD said to hold off responding. Second, federal employees don’t work for Elon. How about you send me five bullet of what you did last week so I can run it through AI and have it determine if you should be fired from your job.

Unfortunately, after being told to terminate two people yesterday my name appeared on a list to be terminated. Been a wild ride.

Prepare to laugh, because that joke is about to be reality.

“If the Republican plan passes under the rosiest assumptions, which aren’t even true, we’re gonna add $328 billion to the deficit this year, we’re gonna add $295 billion to the deficit the year after that, and $242 billion to the deficit after that, under the rosiest assumptions” Massie warned, adding “Why would I vote for that?”

No complaints when Trump fired the IGs.

Yeah, the attorneys know it’s illegal. That’s why Kash Patel told the FBI not to respond.

Yeah, but you probably did Weekly Activity Reports (WAR) for leaders in your CoC. Not for some random dude on a social media site based on a tweet.
