Our nation is being ran by nanny state pukes. That’s all I can surmise.

Again this is no time to panic.   I just figured it out from this letter.   This is simply to augment active duty personnel in areas that may have an outbreak of Covid-19 keeping duty stations from being adequately manned.   A just in case measure.   That is what the letter says.

It was really just a comment to Ransomnote about a shared interest,
which we are prohibited from discussing here at any length, outside of the “Q” threads.

It’s a remarkable time to be alive.

If you were one of the medical specialty MOS’s they’re looking for, then you might not want to sign that lease, just now. They did call for volunteers, now your voluntold.
