Mostly just random, but on occasion have been known to wax poetic/get super nerdy about: CBRN/CWMD, nuclear weapons, deterrence, etc.

The Grill From Ipanema near DuPont Circle is fantastic (both food and drinks), though to be fair it's been 4 years since I last went.

It gives the perception of lethality. And perception is reality, right?
Kinda like people who swear Twizzlers are delicious when they aren't anything more than plastic flavored by having someone run past with a strawberry scented candle.

Which is a shame because some of the best people I ever worked with have also been O4s/O5s.

It was actually an O5 today, but the guy is so clueless AND cocky he might as well be a newly pinned O4.
Either way, my biggest headaches in the last nearly 25 years of military/government service have always come at the hands of one of those two ranks.

Folks, if ever you feel any sense of inadequacy, just know that somewhere, deep in the dank, dark SCIFs of the DOD, is an O4 or O5 so utterly and confidently wrong about something that they singlehandedly will fuck things up for everyone else around them.

Not that DON has exactly ever had its priorities in order, but this is just extra-fucky.

Okay, I won't ask then lol
Music is wildly personal. Plenty of appropriately artistic uses of autotune I could name, but that was just the first one that came to mind.

Oh. Oh no. Not even PS-related this time, though I expect that to bring some level of stupid this week, too.

Absolutely same.

Yeah, if the state code doesn't explicitly address it, it might be open to interpretation. Or perhaps addressed in some state military command policy/regulation. Again, talking to an SJA from the state in question is the best bet.

The way I had to just Frankenstein's Monster together a white paper, dragging together staff directorates against their will to collaborate on the product because of some manufactured urgency out of Washington...
To the people who say we're overpaid and underworked: you can eat my entire ass.

Texas code of military justice, for instance, has like an abbreviated version of the UCMJ in the state code, which leaves certain articles open to interpretation where the T10 version is more specific in its elements.
comment in response to

Given how widely variable state codes of military justice are, the answer is "it depends." Probably good to ask an SJA from the state in question.

Terms of Reference: Shitbird O5 (n.) - an O5, likely relieved of command for sexual harassment or assault.
Pretty sure you're not that, Russ.

I fought tooth and nail at USARPAC to get the DCE there to work with HIEMA and HING rather than pushing the easy button of going across the hall to FEMA-PAO for everything. Then they had major turnover-the new DCO and deputy had to be taught from scratch.
Makes doing real-world response 10x harder.
