How many minutes has it been since Trump embarrassed his nation? It seems like a surprisingly large amount of minutes.

I think I heard that he'll do a speech at a cemetery today, so he's saving it up. God help us all.

They are only getting paid something around $2 a day to do that as well

isn't there some parks program specific to California that would hire these guys? I seem to remember a poster on GiP doing something with that for a while. It sounded like a postincarceration rehab with a little vocational training thrown in

Someone asked for Trump being an embarrassment today? He shows up late to Armistice Day after the guns stopped firing and the flyover concluded. Strong start to the celebration, but the day is young... https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/trump-world-leaders-mark-100-years-since-end-of-world-war-i/

That is what kills me more than the under-compensated labor, which is already a thing nationwide. At least make it possible for these skills to be used in civil service jobs later.

Is it just that firefighting agencies won't hire them? I've worked in commercial diving and there's a training program run out in California that is pretty famous. https://www.kcet.org/agenda/con-diver-program-still-going-strong

Total shot in the dark but I'm guessing it has something to do with firefighters/EMS being first responders and we can't have any goddamn CONVICTS trying to save people

^accurate shot!quote:To become a firefighter in California, the state requires certification as an emergency medical technician. But because occupational licensing laws bar felons from earning EMT licenses, ex-convicts can’t get the job. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/they-fought-wildfires-as-inmates-but-california-wont-let-them-become-firefighters-when-free Other states don't all do this. AZ, not exactly famous for being nice to criminals(!), has a program for convicts to become firefighters once their time is served.

Can you imagine how lovely it would be to find out you're in the parade. It took three loving days to get our BN ready for a BDE change of command because nobody remembered any drill and ceremony. Now multiply that by a factor of ten because you need a YUGE PARADE. Probably have to have dudes scrubbing vehicles with tooth brushes for a month to make sure they're ready to be televised all over the world.

Probably have to have dudes scrubbing vehicles with tooth brushes for a month to make sure they're ready to be televised all over the world. Post had some maintenance audit years ago and found that four of our HMMWVs were so immaculate and well-kept by the assigned NCO that they became the de facto group of parade HMMWVs for, like.... ever? I even tried getting them deleted from our list of equipment requirements (we literally never used them aside from MX check-rides and parades), but those fuckers refused to drop off my unit's list of required vehicles, despite sending in the paperwork to have them deleted. We went ahead and just admitted defeat had them stenciled with the post commander's name.

I mean that's probably the best outcome. Seeing anything with BG/MG/LTG/GEN written on them would basically be an enlisted force field.

So only 10% are motards, which is kind of amazing really.

From a month ago, I vaguely heard about Peter Jackson's work colorizing and touching up film from the Great War, but I didn't look into it beyond that. Looks really neat, actually He and his team did a whole lot more than add color. They cleaned up the film tremendously, hired lip readers to figure out what was being said, and a lot more. I don't think anything of that scale has ever been done with original war footage. Definitely something I'll track down when it comes out on DVD/streaming.

Probably have to have dudes scrubbing vehicles with tooth brushes for a month to make sure they're ready to be televised all over the world. It's doubly lovely because the boondoggle parade would naturally include every component of the military, and the brass always wants some kind of integrated formation, even if it's just a token. I was in an extremely public ceremony detail involving Army, Marines, and Air Force. The same verbal command can mean very different things between branches. Nothing quite like having a quarter of your formation take an extra step after everyone else makes a facing movement. In the end, we all had to learn Army drill so we didn't look like a disorganized group of idiots. mlmp08 posted:halosalute.png Nostalgia4Infinity posted:I want to die.
