1. what's gonna suck is the "skills draft"
Where the gov takes people with skills that are in demand. This is a crafty way of saying that anyone with a security clearance who was able to get out of their job is going to to war.

I am so screwed. I worked inside the "machine" for a while and have yet to lose my clearances. I think that I will take Randi Rhodes' advice and smoke a ton of pot if I ever get called up.

3. I probably still have my clearances from 3 different jobs in
the beast. I did let my nursing license lapse this year, so maybe I won't have to fight these assholes.

Anyone with a license will be vulnerable, even a half blind, half crippled old bag like me.
