FOIA Requests – Cases SITREP

| January 3, 2026 | 18 Comments

Just want to update everyone on the FOIA request situation.

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.

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.”

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.

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

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.

So, we’ll go until the next government shutdown, slated for February 1, 2026.

Keeping the honor and integrity of the Brotherhood of the NDSM alive and well.

Here is some daily inspiration:

“We choose to do these things not because they are easy…
 We choose to do these things because we thought they would be easy.”

After Jonn proved so effective at outing the phonies, and they kept getting their hindquarters handed to them on a stack of Y3K software, it seems that many of the phonies have learned to be cautious about what they post online.

Still miss the sockpuppets, though

I miss sock puppets too, and I miss the way EX-PH2 would eat their lunch.

The Lioness of TAH was a Past-Master at the art.

Miss her (and others) still.

She helped me out on a question about my Nikon camera once or twice.

2 or 3 weeks ago I made EX-PH2’s famous penne/sausage dish, portioned them out to 6 vacumme bags and stuck them in my reefer. Friends used to tell me that the penn had to be boiled in water first and I explained to them that the penne, chopped sausage and diced tomatos go into the same skillet and the diced hunts tomatoes and tomato sauce cook the penne.

My mother used to make something similar she called “Texas hash”. Throw hamburger, tomatoes, chili powder, etc. into a skillet with some uncooked rice and turn on the heat. Nowadays I am just too lazy to break out the skillet, so a large pot will do.

Don’t FOIA my Venezuela records, they are classified and also under the Double Secret Probation ACCM.

Attempts to refute my single-handed efforts in the successful apprehension of Maduro will fail.

Just know, there I was….

Go ahead, FOIA my Venezuela records. There are none 😉

You did it with my help. I did the compass call mission that fucked Al-Shabaab up so that they could not save Maduro from you.

Well, to keep things lively, although not to impugn or contaminate the brotherhood of the NSDM, I offer the following I saw recently ….
Me, I’m 62 and 90%. Think I can get a waiver?!? Hell, I’d even consider giving up a stripe.
Where’s my uniform?!?! I can still drive forklift.
I have been a victim and afflicted of the BBL Virus 🦠 since my first girlfriend who was from Caracas, and whose mother was a diplomat at the embassy, about 50 years ago.
She has been on my mind of late, which is understandable.

So I can keep up with the BROTHERHOOD OF THE NDSM, where can I obtain an NDSM ribbon the size as shown in the above pic that I can put next to my AFEM on my duped non cotton part polyester whites…????????????????

If you have a local T-shirt shop that makes custom T-shirts perhaps they can fix you up.

THAT’S IT!!!!! You’re gonna be hearing from my lawyer, my 9th grade science teacher, Mr. Hinckley and the Pope. Which one of you bastards leaked my official photograph. Come on man….. bwahahahahaha!!!

Prior Service (Ret)

Dude’s ribbons are all out of order and you can’t wear the NDSM on a neck ribbon (said neck ribbon itself seems curiously absent) unless it was awarded as NDSM First Class or higher. I am calling BS on this AI-created dreck! The dog and beer are very believable but I ain’t falling for it….

You’ll never be able to get my Service records of when I was a Door Gunner on the Apollo Missions as a kid!
