[LonePalm]

As a Lieutenant in the Navy I was assigned to a Joint Service Command for my first shore duty assignment. The command was about 40% civilians. Most were excellent but there were a few that were very questionable. Most of these were approaching retirement.

Shortly after I arrived we started a project to move the Command Headquarters. The Military could have moved in less than a month (equipment included). Not so the civilians. They were less than helpful. This caused me to write my version of one of Murphy's Laws.

LonePalm's Law of Military/Civilian Reorganization: The number of days necessary to reorganize any Military/Civilian Organization is equal to the square of the civilians involved.

I also created a Rube Goldberg equation to project the number of days necessary to fire a federal government employee.

"Ceterum censeo 0bama esse delendam."

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

I saw a lot of $hit when I worked with NMCI as an IT sub-contractor over a 1 ago, I’ll just say this, I still wonder how so many GS idiots I saw back then were not fired.
