I want to bid on Fed / State / and Municipal contracts only to subcontract them out and collect the spread. I have information saturation dilemma - where do I start? Are there particular areas where this strategy is effective / commonplace?

I think you need to answer a few questions first:
1. Why would a govt office want you as a vendor?
2. How are you going to ensure that the contract gets done right so they use you again?
3. What products and services is the govt buying that you understand?

I’ve seen tribal organizations use teaming strategies effectively but I can’t think of a services aggregator who doesn’t retain a portion of the work. There’s often minimum work share requirements for a prime vendor.

The govt wants you to have skin in the game

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano

Does anyone feel that the Oil and Gas industry is the most discriminatory industry of all? They won’t even look at resume without O&G experience! It does not make sense to me as I would rather teach someone the specifics of an industry if they were a good fit. And for an industry that has so many obstacles from Government, Environmental Organizations and so on, why they are adding more bad publicity to themselves is not a great approach.

Can provide more details if needed, but if an employee is constantly coughing at work (small retail establishment), is it okay to ask them for a doctor's note stating they aren't contagious?

Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.

M7 Bschools with most scholarship opportunities for vets?

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?
