As a note, the Secret Service trains at Quantico for the more..........physical, to include firearms, training at Quantico. As do USMC Officer Candidates.

That's a pretty neat place.

Law makers from across the river held their press conference earlier this AM, noting why they believe FBI re-location to Springfield is essentially the only logical choice.

Maybe all but sealing the fate for Prince George's here:

I mean most FBI people probably wouldn't live in PG County. If it was in Greenbelt many of them might be in Howard county which may not be ideal.

I've tried to make that point several times in this thread. Doesn't seem to take.

Kinda like how I work in DC and don't live in DC? Meh. Like I said before, the Metro is supposed to make where you live a moot point. Residential location is even less important after the increase in remote work in the DC region. Otherwise, why the requirement to locate near a Metro stop if local "livability" ranks high on the selection criteria list? If that's the case, put it in Quantico and be done with the decade long charade.

The Metro? Really? Do you feel safe riding it with the almost weekly safety issues? From lack of and falsified training, the almost daily operations violations, the lack of maintenance, the new cars that can't be used because of defects?

If Metro was a regular railroad the FRA would have shut it down years ago.

I worked for a short line RR years ago and any one of those would have shut us down until management (new management) fixed the issues.

I ride it 3-4 days a week. Weekdays and weekends. Never any issues.
