My stepson works for TSA in Alaska. He has just been deployed to NJ to work for FEMA for Sandy relief. Others have as well. 12 days after the fact? He is a single parent and they gave him 2 days notice... No choice. Had to leave his child with the ex's parents. They told him he may be down there for two months or more. They are scrambling now... A little late. Imagine if it had been a republican administration.

I think the 2 month estimate is VERY optomistic, however.
For your information, "they" have been scrambling since day 1.
I hope your Son stays safe through what will be a long recovery effort.-Paul
Paul, I am not the one making the decision to "throw" the huge numbers of bodies into the fray. I am commenting on what was being done after the fact. Obviously, you have it all figured out from your vantage point, so things should be under control.Quote:

Let's just say I'm a little closer to the situation than you are. Luckily for me, I don't have to make those decisions.Quote:

My boy is going to be on a ship or boat of some sort with other workers. He is flying in today...Quote:

I don't have an Obama phone, thank you very much. Verizon is my carrier thank you. there you go assuming again. I am sure you know what happens when you assume. I have a full time job, with employer benefits. No govt handouts to this cat. Talk about the govt teat, isn't TSA a govt contractor?Quote:
