Ever seen this before?

As when I saw the version of this story earlier, it reeks.

He went from contractor to Thai waiter yet recently went to Thailand to work for a month?

Nope. That dog don’t hunt.

[AliVeritas]

Also, this guy sure got secret clearance easy (after the ‘re-hire’), did Brennan’s firm do it for them? Wrong language.

(kidding, cough)

Also, since his firm had to check if this was to be his first day... he sure knew a lot about the layout. Oh, as well as being disgrunted re: a boss he hadn’t worked for yet.

Just sayin’.

But it’s Reuters, enough said.

[AliVeritas]

Just for the record:

“I would not have been surprised to hear he had committed suicide. But I didn’t think he could commit murder.”

The Star Telegram lady says he was so,so sweet. But she does mention partying...this is the second time I heard partying mentioned.

She also mentioned that the father of Oui would shake his finger and tell them they were going to work. She also mentioned seeing him studying Thai at the restaurant. They sure seemed to know a lot about him for just being a waiter (he talked to them a lot). I read somewhere that one of his problems in the Navy was that he didn’t like to get up early to work. All of that makes it seem like Aaron Alexis may not have been a very hard worker.

[Irenic]

“That’s what I got to find out, if he was supposed to start today ... It’s not clear to me.”

“We had just recently re-hired him.”

Alexis had previously worked for The Experts in Japan from September 2012 to January 2013, he said.

Not that it means anything but it is interesting that he worked during the main election period, plus Benghazi maybe would have been during that time. It is odd at the very least.

LOL for hours they (media) were saying the parents’ names are Aanthony & Sarah.

[PghBaldy]

I heard her mention that, but she implied “scrubbed” meant to search for all info. Kind of weird.

[al_c]

Actually, he’s from Queens. Ft Worth is just his last known address. He’s no Texan.

[texanyankee]

I agree, he was never a Texan. He may have lived here for a while - but it was easy to figure out he was no Texan.

[Arrowhead1952]

I heard one local DC reporter, on scene, say that he had heard that the shooter killed a gate guard with a shotgun.

I heard about that too. So is this now the VP's fault since he said to "Get a shotgun"?

[Arrowhead1952]

Thank you. I just know Texas AND guns are gonna get the rap for this one!

Yeah, the anti gun freaks are salivating at the chance to stop LEGAL gun sales. I'd post more, but don't want to get banned.

[penelopesire]

You make some good points here. Now this morning we are told he heard voices and was being treated for mental health issues. Something sure doesn’t sound right, but they are tying it all up in a neat little bow....nothing to see..move along.

[3catsanadog]

Alexis’s father told police his son had PTSD from the events of Sept. 11, 2001, according to the post.

Hmmm, Ok was he a first responder? Part of the rescue effort? Barely escape one of the towers collapsing?

Or does he have PTSD from watching it all on TV?

Enter hearing voices.

Strange, how do I find out who the first was to put this out?

This AP story was after the Russia Times and Huff Po piece.

It states he was treated by the VA for mental issues since August. Right. He got a clearance with this, two gun incidents and dings that got him a general discharge.

Wow, look at all the extra tidbits from the roomie (the Thai guy with the white wife), never heard before:

Note:

Okay guys, this still doesn’t explain the different clothing descriptions from personnel at the Navy yard.

Question: It seems the Star-Telegram lady in the vid said he was in Thailand for months, not just one month.

[bgill]

It’s expensive in DC?

You're comfusing the states. The roommate situation was in TX, not DC.

[AliVeritas]

Yikes.

[penelopesire]

Very, VERY, interesting and disturbing!

One thing is certain...things are not what they seem.

The firm that Alexis worked for, The Experts, was a subcontractor for Hewlett-Packard. According to HP, “Alexis was an employee of a company called ‘The Experts,’ a subcontractor to an HP Enterprise Services contract to refresh equipment used on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) network,” HP said late on Monday.

(snip)

In June, HP announced that it has been awarded a $3.45 billion project to build the Navy’s “Next Generation Enterprise Network,” or NGEN.

The project is intended to provide secure data and IT services, including data storage, e-mail, and video teleconferencing to the Navy and Marine Corps, according to the General Accountability Office. That award was a continuation of an existing contract that HP has with the Navy.

Press Release

http://www.federaltimes.com/article/20130627/IT04/307080005/HP-wins-3-5-billion-NGEN-contract

The Navy has awarded incumbent vendor Hewlett Packard a potential five-year, $3.5 billion contract to develop what will be the world’s largest private computer network.

Called the Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN), the project will replace the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), a contractor-owned and operated network serving 800,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel. NGEN will serve roughly the same number of personnel in both services, both in the U.S. and foreign locations.

For the Navy, the new network will be government-owned and contractor-operated, while the Marine Corps will have a government-owned and government-operated model with contractor support. The Marine Corps wanted the ability to travel with the physical components of its network and preferred running the network itself, said Bill Toti, vice president and account executive for HP’s Navy & Marine Corps accounts.

NGEN “required a different approach, a different operating model and it required a different team,” Toti said in an interview. “It wasn’t just optics, but we really did try our best to look at the evolving requirements and build a team that met that need.”

HP’s team includes AT&T Government Solutions, Inc., International Business Machines Global Business Services Federal, Lockheed Martin Services, Inc, and Northrop Grumman Systems Corp.

“I believe we got the best of U.S. industry at the table for this,” Sean Stackley, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, told reporters Thursday.

The transition to NGEN is expected to take about 13 months, considering there are no bid protests.
