LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

Thanks Boys/Gals !
Which Lab engineered the MOAB ? Good job !
I saw the LMSC THAD interceptor missile in Sunnyvale some years ago. Very impressive ! Looked like two stages. Also saw the Trident. At least 6 ft in diameter and 30 ft long. Lots of room for MIRV's !
Lockheed strongly disagrees,

As for Trident, if it works why change it ?
I would change the kinetic "kill" warhead on the THAAD to a tactical Nuke however.
There is also a "wild" claim in some defense quarters that we have "brilliant pebbles" type ICBM killer satellites in orbit. Top Secret.
