    - trained? that's what I did for 3.5 years and they're better trained than the Army, which gets zero training for natural disasters. - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:19 2
      - then is doesn't make much sense for the Army to be suddenly jumping into this role on a full time basis then, does it? - znufrii Dec 2, 14:21 1
        
        I don't know what they're up to. Our training program moved to NORTHCOM a year ago so this is not a new push by a long shot. - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:23
ok, that's night and day. the latter is what I did for 3.5 years and it is not law enforcement. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:07
