Naval Support Activity Mid-South and CNRC
April 27th, 2011
The Naval Support Activity Mid-South, located in Millington, TN is closed to all non-essential personnel today due to the heavy rains and possible flooding. Navy Recruiting Command is located on NSA Mid-South, if you are expecting a waiver response, it will not happen today.
On May 1st of this year, NSA Mid-South will be remembering the storm, and subsequent flooding, that displaced hundreds from their homes and closed many of the base’s functions for weeks. Preparations for this year’s storm could be seen around the base in the form of sandbag barriers in front of entrance ways of many of the base’s buildings. (Read the rest of the article…)

Will Federal Prisoners Get Paid?
April 8th, 2011
Today, I posed this question to my local NBC affiliate, WMC-TV Memphis, on their Facebook page; “Will federal prisoners continue to get paid during a government shut down?” They immediately responded and have assured me they contacted the prison system for an answer. We are standing by.
Patience is not one of my strongest virtues, so I decided to also make some calls to find out if those are incarcerated in our federal prisons will either stop all work, or be paid. Wow, I hope Action 5 News ultimately has better luck than I; I called the Bureau of Prison’s Public Information Office, the lady who answered the phone did think the question was interesting – she placed me on hold for about 30 seconds, and then transferred me to the Department of Justice who, without pausing, transferred me to the Office of something…couldn’t make it out before he transferred me – who then transferred me to the Office of Personnel Management and Budget where I encountered an endless loop of press X number…
