Yes. And I said the same thing. The answer I got was "activities run by DOD civilians will be closed on Fridays until further notice"

Then that's due to political gamemanship, not money.

Woodward has shed a little light on the lies that the Magic Negro has told. Most of the press is carrying Obummer's water and blaming the Repubs. However, his remarks are pissing off the W.H. So, that is a good thing, and the truth is coming out that this liar was on board and approved the sequester. .

The fact that Bob Woodward is taking on a president who is every leftist's wet dream...and the press does have to be a little careful. They've built him up as a hero for decades. And he's making news, low information voter news. A few more situations like this (and they're bound to happen, it only takes one person to speak out first) and the boy king won't be such a shiny new toy anymore.

That's not true for all civilian activities. They could still be staggered. No one knows for sure yet.

  Need to tighten down all those loose jobs, that'll fix the problem.    I guess this guy is what Rush refers to as a low information voter.  I wonder who he voted for last November.  :???:

We've been briefed in USAREUR that  DA civilians will work on Fridays once the furloughs start...to include the teachers at the schools.

I'm assuming...and it wasn't briefed...that EMS and Fire will still have to come to work...but that's about it.

From when I was briefed, this could change for each command. Various groups could experience staggered days off as opposed to most being off the same day across a command. Many commands don't really know for sure just how it will be implemented.

when I got up this morning, i cautiously peeked out an east facing window in my house and saw that contrary to all the speeches given by obama this past week, the sun did in fact rise in the east and it is a beautiful day.  I'm releived but now I'm confused.  Did obama lie to us? [/DUmmy mode]

There is a lot of totally unnecessary gamesmanship to DOD's approach, at the highest levels it is the senior leadership like Odierno trying to make it as brainlessly-bad as possible to bolster Obama, at the installation and major unit level it is everyone trying to threaten the direst possible consequences so they will get more of the remaining pie.  In the meantime all the funding streams for robot squirrels, fish democracy studies, redecoration of the command suite, and insanely-overpriced biofuel continues untouched.
