\"\"<\/a>Just want to update everyone on the FOIA request situation.<\/p>\n

Things were at a standstill during the government shutdown. Although they have been back to work since mid-December, they are facing a backlog. Not quite as bad as when COVID hit, but still a backlog.<\/p>\n

We’ve been getting a few trickling back, but after apologizing for the delay, they’re mainly asking if we are still interested in the results. We reply, “Definitely.”<\/p>\n

We are still getting steady case submissions, but few are actionable since they are word-of-mouth claims. I’m thinking that when Facebook came on the scene, it allowed people to put their best foot (or face) forward and didn’t consider the repercussions of embellishing. Things have caught up, and I think people are learning to be more careful with online claims.<\/p>\n

There are a few uncles at a wedding, VFW tales over a beer, and barstool “juz tryin’ to get laid” folks.<\/p>\n

We’ll keep submitting FOIA requests, and hopefully we’ll get something back worth sharing. I almost hope that people turn out to be legit.<\/p>\n

So, we’ll go until the next government shutdown, slated for February 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

Keeping the honor and integrity of the Brotherhood of the NDSM alive and well.<\/p>\n
