battlebattlehooah: We've already cut three pretty essential contractor jobs, one of them was my only coworker in a really busy section, so now I am tasked to work here alone. I don't really mind, just don't get mad when it takes me twice as long to do twice as much work (my command understands more than the patients do).
BlueFalconNation: No more deployments or ADOS orders. Means my unit will eventually be full of boots like me with no awards and no experience. inb4 hurr durr reserves [the Reserves]. Under normal wartime conditions we are the most deployed unit in the Marine Corps.
Practically all summer schools cadets go to outside of Airborne and Air Assault are canceled, and in house training is being trimmed down to as bare bones as physically possible. Combine this with half finished building projects things are feeling pretty rough around here. $100 million out of the $300 million they are cutting from CONUS is coming from us, and hopefully the AoG can pick up the slack.
So while the drive to keep F-35 costs down may be "burned into the brains" of Pratt & Whitney's engineers, there's at least one wily supply sergeant stockpiling toilet paper.
Perspective always helps.
