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 The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills.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.

2. I hope some pretty good notes where made to refresh our abilities in this regard, 33 years puts a lot of rust on the hardware and brain cells.
3. This could give us a chance to see how good the NIF and the ASC programs have done in their predictions.
4. The folks in Vegas are sure to go to court on this one.
In any case I always presumed that if Russia or China did a test we would also do test regardless of who is in office.
