Sorry to hear about your GF. I watched today as Civilians walked out not knowing when they'll be back and there is no guarantee they'll receive back pay.
Some of y'all need to realize this is bigger than YOU and your EGO and what you think you know. If you don't have something constructive to say, STFU.
Who decides what's constructive? I watched as thousands walked out of the Lucent plant never to go back. I'm sure there are people here that watched thousands walk out of the GM plant never to go back. But because someone is employed by the Government it is supposed to be a guaranteed job for life?
