ARMY CALLING FOR ‘WORKERS’ TO RESPOND TO FUTURE “DISASTER STRICKEN AREAS OF THE US”

KENNEWICK, Wash.- A tip was sent to me by a reader via email Saturday documenting how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is now soliciting civilian workers for “maintenance” positions ahead of what appears to be an upcoming and potentially ‘imminent event’ of some type.

Shockingly as listed in the solicitation numbered “NCFL156545791382984S” which is posted at USAJobs.gov the Army Corps of Engineers is literally calling upon skilled individuals amongst the civilian population in search of potential prospects rather than using already active Army personnel.

The “job summary” section of the solicitation strokes the prospect’s ego, reading:

“Civilian employees serve a vital role in supporting the Army’s mission. They provide the skills that are not readily available in the military, but crucial to support military operations. The Army integrates the talents and skills of its military and civilian members to form a Total Army.”

It’s also important to note that the position may extend up to “four years” and that “employees” will be required to respond to “disaster stricken areas of the US”.

Did I miss something?

Disaster stricken areas of the U.S., WTF does that mean?

Does the U.S. Government know something that they have not yet told the general public?

Is there an impending disaster looming such as the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano or possibly a predestined asteroid impact which rumor has may be coming in September? After reading a potion of the solicitation’s “about” section you may be asking these very questions too. It reads:

“Employees occupying these positions will provide emergency support to disaster stricken areas throughout the US. Employees must pass a stringent medical screening and be prepared to live and work in extremely austere conditions. Work schedule will initially be arduous, with much overtime. Sleeping arrangements may be limited to using a sleeping bag or in the vehicle used to move from location to location. The duty station for pay purposes for these positions is Kennewick, WA with possible 75% or GreaterBusiness Travel in various locations throughout the US.”

Additionally it’s important to point out that “Kenniwick, WA” is only the “duty station for pay purposes”, signifying that employees who have accepted the position can end up anywhere throughout the U.S. as “75%” of the job is listed as “travel”.

Interestingly duties of the job include:

“[…] computing and making flood releases, inspecting, repairing and maintaining the appurtenant structures and systems of the dam (skills include, but are not limited to, electrical and mechanical work); and participating in the dam inspections. Maintains and repairs facilities such as public restrooms, camp sites, picnic areas, park roads, etc. Repair equipment such as, hydraulic gates, hoists, hangers, cranes, elevators, sump pumps, water systems pumps, chlorinators and stand-by generators. Dam Operation; Collects humidity, temperature and wind velocity readings from weather instruments, makes gage readings pertaining to water storage and performs related calculations. Reports weather information and operating data in accordance with establishedschedules. Makes gate settings to regulate outflow of water in accordance with regulatory requirements. Inspects dam and appurtenant structures and equipment using standard inspection checklists. Performs a variety of miscellaneous duties such as, maintaining roads and clearing debris. Operates a variety of vehicles and vessels, such as, sedans, light duty pickup trucks and 5-ton trucks, tractors, fork lifts, motor boats, work barges, etc.”

The job pays $21.93-$25.57 per hour.

When the author says,

"Is there an impending disaster looming such as the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano or possibly a predestined asteroid impact which rumor has may be coming in September?"

I know he's one of the tin foil hat brigade and he spends all day in his bunker listening for the black helicopters.

It could be that Hurricane Season began on June 1st and the Corps of Engineers is concerned that the levees they build in Louisiana will not hold.

[tanknetter]

Yeah, if it were Yellowstone or an inbound asteroid/comet the government would be looking for systems integration specialists, census takers, etc to expand Selective Service by age range and to include things like knowlege an skillsets. For what would most certainly a draft-everyone-who’s-left into the recovery effort scenario.

Kenniwick, WA” is only the “duty station for pay purposes”

Most likely, they already have a Kenniwick resident (insider) 'pre-selected' for the job.

I love conspiracy theories but this seems to have crossed the “conspiracy” line over into reality.

I guess time will tell. Nothing will surprise me.

[cripplecreek]

When they rebuilt the dam here where I live USACE really just contracted the labor out and they handled paperwork.

There was a report something from outer space may hit Planet Earth in September, 2015, or fly right on by, they don't know. Gov policy is to keep deep space disaster reports secret since there isn't anything anyone can do to prevent a hit.

[Did y'all read the Lame Cherry article?]

Thanks, Old Sarge.

Here's a y2019 report:

...NASA astronomers say the chances of the 1.2-mile-wide (2 km) asteroid called “2002 NT7” actually hitting the Earth on Feb. 1, 2019, are slim, they will be watching this and other orbiting “doomsday rocks” very closely.

As reported on About Space in Asteroid On Collision Course With Earth, asteroid 2002 NT7 has the potential to strike the Earth at over 64,000 mph and delivering and explosive force of 1.2 million megatons of TNT.

Kennewick, WA., eh?

Up to four years, eh?

Kennewick is near where the Columbia River begins its western flow to the sea.

they want to fix the canal systems in Fl they put in wrong and it will take a zillion $$ and people

[Godzilla]

Time out for a cupcake folks. Did anyone even READ the announcement? They are looking for maintenance workers for dams. Not a single word in the announcement for ‘impending national disaster’. smh

[familyop]

"...ahead of what appears to be an upcoming and potentially ‘imminent event’ of some type."

If the Army didn't publish it, don't quote it like a liar. If the Army Corps of Engineers is planning on saving infrastructure and people in a future disaster while freeing up more soldiers to fight the enemy and lead the way for our great infantry, don't treat it like a curse or defame the Army Corps of Engineers.

Many of them (combat engineers, non-construction type) have fought and died for your freedom and lives. Why are you spitting on the deeds of men who've disarmed and cleaned up mines and booby traps with their bare hands for you and our country?

Political class folks have gone nuts, and obviously, they're all on the same socialist side. Where did that garbage propaganda come from--the New Soviet Union?

[LucyT]

They read it last night on Lame Cherry.

Conspiracies are a lot more fun.

(What kind of cupcakes?)

[familyop]

"they want to fix the canal systems in Fl they put in wrong and it will take a zillion $$ and people"

They should return it to swampland then. They should do it quickly and quietly, when the gazes of the rats are fixed on a conspiracy yarn.

[Old Sarge]

Several ideas.

As has been stated upthread, disaster readiness is nothing new, so on the surface, this is usual bureaucratic and employment stuff.

Taken in a another vein, the posting states that Kennewick, WA is the place of duty. There is nothing there; Kennewick has no infrastructure. That allows any employee under this notice nearly unlimited travel pay, TDY, Family Sep - it’s a money faucet, a cash cow and plum job for whoever gets the post.

The job description in innocuous in and of itself - but when taken into account among the numerous other things this regime has done over the last six years in power, can any of us, in certainty, think of it as benevolence?

[familyop]

"Disaster stricken areas of the U.S., WTF does that mean?"

Political speech from a lady of the political class--obscene.

[TADSLOS]

Potentially? LMAO. I guarantee it. I used to target civilian vehicles on the highway and boats on the lake in training scenarios.

Freakin' incompetents!

They are about 7 years too late!!!

[crazydad]

Nope Planet X is going to be passing earth in the next 8 months, the government knows it and they are getting ready. Jade Helm, Underground shelters(Cheyenne Mountain). It is no longer a conspiracy when it is right in front of you.

[familyop]

Objects passing near earth, eh? Hopefully, one of them will become an extra moon for us.

[publius911]

Could the central socialist government preparing to go to war against Americans?

Sure looks that way. And there is a strong hint that they are going to destroy all the dams.

Why not?
California did that a few decades ago... then had the balls to push a humungous new bond measure to rebuild them all over again!!
This time for the Bugs and Bunny crowd.
And tiny fishes!and So. California movie stars!

Normal people?
Whazzat??
