USA Jobs would be the way for the civilian side. Which would be FE or any of the tech or mech positions. I think they usually require AMP or whatever that maintenance cert is.

I'm a navigator, which, along with pilots is a NOAA Corps position. I had to interservice transfer from the navy into my position. It was very weird because NOAA Corps is like the asterisk of the uniformed services. We are super small so a spot only opens up every few years for pilot or nav positions. They'll definitely take guys from other services, we just happen to draw from the navy frequently because they have P-3s and we still maintain connections with those communities to get the word out and vet people.

In addition to this (full disclosure: I have nothing to do with NOAA, but I'm an Employment Counselor for the Navy and USMC) you can contact the Veteran Employment Program Officer for th appropriate Department. In this case, since NOAA is part of Dept of Commerce, you can hit up Charles Clark at vets@doc.gov or even call him at 202-482-0767.

There's a full list of each Agency/Department's Vet Hiring Rep at FedsHireVets.gov. From the main page, go to "Agency Directory" and pick your Department. Names and contact info is listed as well as a list of what areas their hiring in. If they don't think you're a good fit for their area or what you want to do, they'll talk to you about it and pass you onto another department so they can contact you. I've had a couple folks do this (contact the Rep and talk to them or get referred to another group) with good results.

Credit reporting firm Equifax says cybersecurity incident could potentially affect 143 million US consumers

Equifax Inc., which supplies credit information and other information servicesCredit reporting firm Equifax says cybersecurity incident could potentially affect 143 million US consumers], said Thursday that a cybersecurity incident could have potentially affected 143 million consumers in the U.S.

Equifax said it discovered the breach on July 29. Leaked data includes names, birth dates, social security numbers, addresses and potentially drivers licenses. 209,000 U.S. credit card numbers were also obtained, in addition to "certain dispute documents with personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers."

Equifax said that the investigation into the breach is complete.

I guess the part that irks me is that it's structurally similar to the military's ineffectual sexual assault prevention system. They're forcing wholly unqualified people to perform investigations into criminal matters.

LOL if you think Betsy Devos rolling back Title 10 is a good thing.

She's the same sort of schmuck that tells rape victims they should've just kept their legs closed, seriously, its not a good thing, and we have more issues with systemic rape culture than we do false accusations.

quote:

Ms. DeVos signaled in July that she was thinking of rewriting the rules, by holding listening sessions with victims, students who had been accused and higher-education officials. Though she announced no specific changes on Thursday, Ms. DeVos did say she would open a public comment period, an administrative step taken before a government agency issues new guidelines.

My guess is someone stepped in and told her that removing guidelines without a public comment period is a bad idea. So the guidance hasn't been changed yet, nor will it until the comment period is over. Now, as for what happens after that? Who the gently caress knows.

You really, REALLY think Betsy Devos is in any way, shape, or form capable of fixing Title 10? Please.

The reason that University General Counsel is secretly cheering, is because they'll be able to cover up things easier. There is absolutely zero reason to believe Devos capable of preventing overreach other than just making victims live's hell.

She's made her money going after students in critical educational debt. She's a vulture, and she is utterly incapable of doing anything other than thinking of ways to turn the Public Education system into corporate slush funds.

I mean, you know WHY these people like Devos and others were chosen to run these Departments, right? To break them. Devos is not going to be some miracle turn around, she's utterly inept.

quote:

The prospect of a change in the rules puts colleges in limbo for now, and may require them to overhaul procedures that are just a few years old. Michael Roth, president of Wesleyan University, said Ms. DeVos’ portrayal of the Obama-era guidelines as burdensome to colleges did not reflect his own views or that of other college presidents to whom he has spoken about the issue.

“I remember the times when men, with impunity, would throw their weight around,” sexually harassing and assaulting women, Mr. Roth said. “There were no consequences. Changing that culture over the last decade, as the Obama administration tried to do, was an enormous contribution.”

Mr. Roth acknowledged that college disciplinary procedures are imperfect, but he said that men accused of assault at Wesleyan are offered the presumption of innocence, are given access to a counselor, are informed of all the allegations against them and are shown all relevant evidence pertaining to their case.

I'm not going to go through this debate again. I also don't give a poo poo about DeVos. Go back and re-read the discussion between Mr.Nice and me to see my position on why these rules have to change. Hint: I don't think we should reduce oversight and resources for sexual assault prevention and response, in fact they should probably both be increased beyond what they are now. I do think we should provide due process to people accused of committing sexual assault, which the current guidelines do not. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

Again, I doubt "Boys will be Boys" Devos is going to be the one to bring balance to the force. More like just wildly swing back into tradition.

Current views are Devos is just likely to roll it back to pre-Obama era rules, which is basically all this administration is good at doing.

The worst part is where the motion of the storm system is added to the direction of the winds so yes, in the northern hemisphere the upper right quadrant when viewed from direction of travel has the highest winds.
