Isn't Marine Corps Intelligence an oxymoron?

KIDDING!  JUST KIDDING!

You may be on to something....

Just guessing here, but I wouldn't be shocked if the required ASVAB scores for those intelligence MOS's are comparatively high, while the primary pool of transferees would be infantry/03, which has a lower ASVAB score.

Now I'm sure there are enough 03 Marines will sufficiently high ASVAB scores, but I'm also guessing those are the ones more likely to be on a good track with promotions, etc..  In other words, they're having to convince some of the most successful infantry Marines to leave their units and MOS for a brand new one that has much less in the way of troop leadership opportunities.

The encampment at GW, which @PresidentofGW has called "illegal," has now caused rat problems in University Yard. The protestors "sprayed a clear liquid rat repellent around the encampment," per @gwhatchet

This is a fair point.

A lot of the fence work done under the Trump Administration that was dismissed because it wasn't "new" fencing was actually taking more or less worthless stuff and massively upgrading it into a useful barrier.  Those images are accurate.

That "worthless stuff" was put up years ago and provided a barrier at the time, and needed replacing, but the fact still remains that the wall was not completed.

Manic Monday madness thank-you's, Pookie!
