I realize this is late, but…

Rant: fair weather bicycle commuters who endanger, embarrass, and annoy those of us who ride year round and know what we’re doing.

Rave: Cold weather has driven them back indoors!

Mar – - it really doesn’t matter who you know. The CG is very democratic and transparant when it comes to hiring. The elibibility list is scrubbed by HR for qualifications, points, etc. before going to the office that needs the individual. If you make the list, it’s up to that office to call you for an interview. Unfortunately, if you don’t make the final list, the CG is woefully inadequate in advising people – or at least they were. Good luck though. It’s a great organization!!

o2bncdg – I know this is somewhat weird but what part of the Coast Guard do you work for? I have an application in for a civilian position there and am hoping to get it referred to a hiring manager!

Nate – - The USCG has already selected a building design (we’re going to be in “new construction”). The project has been on the table for years – - and the money just fell out of each budget – until now. I’m thinking final site work, ramp work off of I-295 and all the other prelim stuff can be done within a year. Construction completed in about 2 years. That’s 3 years – - and our lease at Buzzards Point expires in 5 years, I think. Should work just fine.
