This may be a stupid question...but. idk..
Hi Lillian,
It's not a stupid question.
And to spite what some people would have you believe, the standard reaction to change in the early stages is "what does this mean to me".
Anyone who's studied or led Change Management initiatives would tell you the same.
No, it will only affect millions of families across the country. Your envelope is safe.
Lillian,
If you are new to the forums, you might want to figure out who the regulars are and perhaps refrain from insulting them.

I agree with Lillian, there was no reason to get snarky with her. She is worried about her future just like most HS Seniors are.
Watch the secretary cry on her way out the door because she's worried about her family's security. Sometimes it speaks well of someone who says he/she seeks a career of service to not worry about #1 first and foremost.
Has there been any talk as to whether this shut down will follow suit with the last Gov. shut down. Gov. employees were paid retroactively for the days they were off work. It's the ripple effect that flows down to the non Gov. employees that will have the largest impact on the short term economy if this thing drags on for long.

I think the answer to lillian's perfectly reasonable question is it depends on how long the shut down lasts. Based on the following from AFA Public Affairs I would expect that a significant number of admissions staff are furloughed.
"More than 1,000 civilians are furloughed. Obviously this will be tremendously disruptive to our mission here at the Air Force's Academy. Nearly 450 employees are excepted, meaning they will continue to work in order to continue services impacting safety and security.
According to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, furlough decisions are dictated solely by the law, which only permit commands to direct civilians to work if they are required to continue supporting military operations or if they are required to protect DOD personnel and property."
I'm not really new. I don't care who's a regular. Makes no difference to me. I come here to get questions answered, not concern myself with how someone might react if I call them out on being rude. I didn't insult anybody anyway. Thanks for the advice though.
