Also there's a certain meteorological center sending out flash traffic that deserves a punch in the loving nose.

HOLY poo poo Y'ALL THE SECRETARY'S GONNA GIVE A SPEECH ON NET FREEDOM NEXT WEEK, Y'ALL TUNE IN NOW, Y'HEAR? My favorite was 2 (?) years ago when we got a niact on a Friday to make sure everybody knew to put their flags at half staff on Monday. Our building didn't have a flag.

Skandiaavity posted:uh, did you fly business? I heard we can get biz class if it's a long flight. Then again, I heard "no business ever, unless you want to pay for it" There is no business class permitted anymore. If your flight is longer than 14 hours you are entitled to a rest break with a hotel stay though.

I gotta stress that networking is 80% of this job and you're all starting with a HUGE advantage. Don't let that advantage go.

I think he means that new hire directed tours don't count for clearing out your fair share. But that should also mean that it shouldn't matter cause your first two are directed and your fair share ticker shouldn't be started yet.

Omits-Bagels posted:All these comments about not being an rear end in a top hat leads me to believe the foreign service is full of assholes. "It varies from post to post". I've been at a post where drat near the entire mission met for beers after work and it was the most amazingly chill and awesome work environment ever. You really felt appreciated and everybody pulled their own weight. Then I've been to a post where two people didn't make tenure in a single year. It was a tiny post.

Tyro posted:Anyone have experience with the Skill Code Change process? Specifically going from generalist to specialist. From what I've found online I know it is theoretically possible but it seems like meeting the requirements (something like 30 months out of the past 6 years in a job that fits the desired skill code) would be difficult to meet, and actually getting a conversion would depend on factors completely outside your control. I did a skill code conversion from IMTS to IMS by completing a tour as an IMS to give me the required 30 months. The skillcode you are trying to go for has to be a high need one and it does have to be paneled, but as long as your CDO is on board it shouldn't be a big issue. The hardest part is getting that first shot in the new skillcode and to do that you pretty much have to either know somebody or bid on a real shithole. That's how it works for spec - spec, don't know if it works like that for gen - spec. -edit- Hey Chavi, are you in Tripoli?
