You bring up a good point about the federal contracts and the Army in particular. I know that we have a couple of contracts along those lines with Brooks Army base and Randolph Air Force in San Antonio and those would have been in the area he was responsible for working in so he may have just decided to leave rather than get let go if he had left the second degree murder charge off of his employment application.
I wouldn't have a problem or issue working with someone with a dope conviction tagged to them but violent crime is a area I have reservations about.
The first of the month is when you can cash out over at the poker site without having to pay a "rush fee" for withdrawing funds so I had put in my slip for enough SBD to fund December before the game on Friday night. By the time the game ended I had built my account back up over there to an amount just about equal to what I had submitted for cashing out so SBI Saturday is looking good for the next couple of months if not longer.
That makes sense also on the jajajaja, and that does sound familiar now that you mention it.
