DC crayons are delicious. There’s NOTHING to do here, but there’s plenty of work for people who know the field and are cleared.

What did you want to know?

Yes. What are your questions.

Is there a lot of infrastructure or security consulting work to be had?

Plenty of security consulting work, but much more federal than commercial. There are a good number of commercial orgs in the area though

Plenty of both. There is even commercial if you seek it out.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
