Horribly boring job, although it did give me great insight in to how messed up the DoD's acquisition process is.

PEO Aviation HQ is still not in the Sparkman. I thought only Apache and Utility was in there.

True enough. The HQ isn't there.

Mostly Apache. But not only.

You already had a drill planned. Did anyone of you see anything? Something sounds fishy as hell.

The drill was scheduled for tomorrow. We got a notification like on Thurs. or Fri. that we'd have a drill sometime this week. So when the active shooter alert came out today, people thought it was the drill even though the computer alerts said it wasn't a drill. They finally had to announce over the intercom in our build that the drill was going to be tomorrow, and that this wasn't a drill. Talk about horrible timing.

Ok that somewhat clarifies things. Still sounds fishy. Were there any victims?

Watching the local news conference right now.

NO SHOTS WERE FIRED. No one had a gun. Someone got spooked, thought they saw a gun, called 911, then the rumor mill took over.

It was total bullshite.

Someone really didn't wanna go through the drill tomorrow. I guess they decided today worked better for them.

I hear this and I think of Jason Borne. A shooter doesn't have a chance

Yeah. Something wasn't adding up. I'm glad it was a false alarm. Everybody gets to go home to their families.

This could have been a test to see if they had a leak within. Common practice to weed out moles. Not saying they meant for it to blow up this big.
