There is some weird shit going down in this small middle of nowhere town, like Greenbriar level shit.
Weird job offers here from defense contractors for comsec, electricians, hf radio techs, and all sorts of technical staff.
Not to mention an airport big enough to land a C-5 Galaxy on, why the frick does a town that small have an airport that big?
One of the postings from a defense contractor
this is a realistic ~2 years in tech after being a basic b***h desk monkey with light exposure to the networking and infrastructure teams. Most entry level jobs have more requirements buzzwords than this, so it is pretty grounded.
Also top secret clearance.
I should get top secret clearance.
How does one get TS clearance? I mean beyond already working for a defense contractor/glowops and having your employer file for one.

Get selected for a job that requires you to have TS clearance. There's really no other way.
You are given if you need it. If you don't have your foot in the door in some way you will not get it. It's usually easier for people to get clearance in the military and then keep it updated in civilian life by applying to jobs that require it. Difficult to get as a civ unless you have niche skills that are needed onsite in a secure military facility and there is no one else available that has clearance already.
Frick, I almost qualify, and any former 25B would easily.
t. former 25U
Anon, if you only meet 75% of any tech job listing you find online you're vastly overqualified compared to who they will inevitably hire because no one fits their criteria.
huh, the default google earth imageset is from 2013.....
Electricians are pretty easy to figure out based off the number of windmills built in the nearby mountains, technical staff as well not sure if the radio techs would be involved with that as well but even then i've got no idea on the comsec stuff
>why the frick does a town that small have an airport that big?
Drug trafficking anon. The US government is flying fentanyl directly from Mexico to the hottest market
Samegay moron
Go frick yourself fent pushing glowBlack person
K. Keep me posted when you glowBlack folk get your UC to finish his deal with the kingpins distributing fent across Appalachia
>thinks it takes a federal conspiracy to get west Virginians to do drugs
You're both just the same brand of brain dead I guess
>he thinks the government doesn’t traffic drugs
Are drugs really that big of a problem in that part of the country? Are there just a bunch of fat white dudes from Appalachia selling oxycodones and fent to people?
> Are there just a bunch of fat white dudes from Appalachia selling oxycodones and fent to people?
No.
Well, yes. But they’re doctors. Your stereotypical drug pushers aren’t really a thing in the super rural areas. Most of the drug abuse is prescription drugs. And alcohol of course.
That might have been true many years ago when documentaries like Oxyana came out, but regulators like the FDA have aggressively cracked down on prescriptions for Oxys.
The vast majority of Appalachian drugs indeed come from your run-of-the-mill redneck drug dealers living in the mountains.
>t. Tennessean
Damn it quit posting at the same time as me he will think we’re samegayging again kek
We also both alluded / cited the exact same timeline (circa 2013, when Oxyana came out) when regulators cracked down on doctor's prescribing Oxys, etc.
So now its just white people living in the moutains slinging pressed pills that originally come from cartels ofc.
Nah. I don’t really care that much. And I’m not saying you are wrong, but there are still doctors over-prescribing.
t. Dug out more than two dozen bottles of Percocet from my grandmother’s house after she died.
Lucky bastard
Doctor pill mills haven’t been a thing since like 2013. Doctors shit their pants over prescribing opiates now. The current epidemic is from cartels selling to local gangs who then sell to junkies. You cannot find a genuine Percocet 10 on the black market
t. knower
WV didn't get the memo until 2018 with the Opioid Reduction Act (SB 273). There was a serious issue with doctors(nurses could even sign off on prescriptions making the issue worse) abusing the system.
By that point everyone was getting hooked on heroin and the fent, though.
There's a saying in Mingo county, if you rattle a pill bottle they will come. I haven't lived there in awhile and I heard it's chilled out a bit because either everyone overdosed and died or left state when the drugs started drying up.
I was an EMT from Cabell county who got his fair share of OD calls.
It's pretty obvious it's just for drug trafficking
>Not to mention an airport big enough to land a C-5 Galaxy on, why the frick does a town that small have an airport that big?
Runway is only 4500 feet. You need 4900 to land a C-5 loaded. You also cant take off at all.
Not to mention a listed weight capacity of 56000 pounds.
You can’t even land a C-130 on it.
Huh. didnt know that was a thing.
I figured it was just a training airport. We have one down here, it does have a long runway too (for obv reasons)
4500 feet is not a long runway. It’s especially not a long runway in the mountains. I’d say it’s on the bigger side of “short” actually.
ya 4500 feet is pretty normal for a county level airport, all 3 counties in the metro i live in have airports that size for local use in addition to the actual Metro airport that actually has service to it. There's also 2 smaller 3.5k foot airports,
>Runway is only 4500 feet
>can’t even land
the A-10 needs less than 4000 feet of runway
>the A-10 needs less than 4000 feet of runway
That’s cool.
The A-10 is not a C-130. And it’s definitely not a C-5

super neat
SF and its support elements have a huge presence in WV. CAG selection is even there. There’s a ton of shut like this throughout WV, nothing green briar about it.
I wouldn’t worry about it
I lived in Bridgeport and they have the frick off big FBI data center nearby and a ton of aerospace engineering stuff there at the airport.
Yeah, probably some affiliate shit. I'm like an hour from Elkins or I'd be interested.
OP are you moronic?
for one I don't think you can land a c5 there. they used to land c130s there but it's been a while.
please post the job links.
I'm genuinely interested when my home towns right in front of me on /k/.
also Jared is that you? take your meds
are their job opportunities for helicopter pilots? I don't wanna be in the military anymore 🙁
no only heli jobs around are healthnet pilots and clearing right of ways for the power company occasionally.
OP I need more evidence of what would make you think something's going on around here.
NVM I found it. I'll look around.
????????
looked into it. it's no where near as big a deal as you make it out to be. the airport has little to nothing to do with and there's info available about the place in the news paper from a year ago.
Noooo anon I need this don't DO this to me I NEED it to be a government drug running operation or my fragile grasp on reality will SHATTER. You're LITERALLY killing me with reason
You are a glowie. Your homosexualy exaggerated typing style gives it away
Everyone that doesn't feed your delusions is a glowie
you really want something to freak out over? go look into sugar Grove. few years back it was auctioned off and was supposed to become a woman's prison. no woman over there and it's still got armed guards around the place.
also check out etam some rich person idk who baugh it and was renovating the place for something. but it used to be an NSA site spying on the commies via moon bounce.
>women's prison
Where does it say that? I read that it was an nsa station and in '17 one of (or perhaps all) of the facilities was sold to an investment group with plans to convert it into a health care facility. At any rate, armed guards would be pretty reasonable for an nsa or naval operations facility
Anon you can't just say that and not post a link
NTA, bottom of the pic
>While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this
Google search: Leidos jobs, West Virginia
I've seen pipeline patrol sniffer guys as well.
WVANG used to fly C-5s
check this out: 4 comm towers in one spot, and a little house next to them with a bunch of satillite dishes in the yard.

Then maybe you should just STFU. Besides it's clearly DRUG. TRAFFICKING.
Yes, sir. Sorry sir. I'll stop making a scene. How's agent Bueller? Haven't seen in for a while. Did he get promoted or transfered?
Why is it clearly drug trafficking? Do you have any idea how many airports exist in the US?
Greenbank Radio Telescope array has some shady gummint secret stuff under it, I'm sure.
Why's it need a runway?
> Why's it need a runway?
So scientists can fly in and out
Conspiracy theorists never cease to amaze me. Next hing you know OP will be trying to tell us something crazy like a base under the Denver Airport or something. Sheer lunacy.
>hf radio techs
>Elkins
Cool. I'm in Morgantown and gave my Extra amateur license. Might look into it.
Been a massive increase in mh60 traffic over Ansted for like the last 6 years idk why. Bunch of weird imminent domain shit also with Appalachian Power that makes zero since and has been handled in a really shady way
