Sooooo, this is a thing again. So much for being motivated to study for that ATP Written over the holidays.
Yeah, for sure. Was planning to take it at Langley next week, since my practical is scheduled for the following week. Hopefully they re-open testing in the next 14 days. Knew I should have just done it on site when I did CTP.....oh well. That being said, I had just assumed this applied only to mil facilities and not ALL CATS, so at least that saves me a lot of wasted phone calls tomorrow. Bummer. I do appreciate how much of a political tool the government shutdown has become. If you are going to pontificate about your support of the military as a politician to garner votes, you had damned well better be doing something productive to end this seasonal madness. Contributing via action or more likely, inaction, gets you eliminated from my ballot for the rest of time. And we aren't even the people that are really feeling the effects each time this happens, which is obviously by design, since failing to pay uniformed DoD paychecks would be political suicide for anyone. Too bad it isn't when you cut paychecks for thousands of non-uniformed people who actually make our machine run (depot level maintenance contractors, administrative contractors, etc).
