So is this a way to use some federal vs state money for the moment? I have a neighbor loosing his mind right now about this and his flood lights in his yard and on his house are lit up for the duration.

BOSTON (CBS) — Gov. Charlie Baker activated the Massachusetts National Guard to support the Commonwealth’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak Thursday. This will increase the governor’s resources for dealing with the coronavirus crisis.


The order authorizes activation of up to 2,000 National Guard members across the Commonwealth who will be tasked with supporting requests from state agencies for equipment, logistics and warehousing, according to the governor’s office.


“Activating the National Guard will help support our Administration’s efforts to keep residents safe and secure during the COVID-19 outbreak,” Baker said in a news release. “The expertise of the Massachusetts National Guard will benefit our communities with logistical support and other assistance as we continue to respond to this crisis.”

Been activated since Saturday/Sunday. My ex wife's bf has to report in the morning.

Go time?

Got to make sure troops are in place before the martial law.. oops “shelter in place” is enacted.

 

[avander123]

They must be getting ready to shut down the liquor stores.

Can't help but wonder how many younger members know what happened there.

That would be GO time.

but.. with shutting everything down, it’s about the only tax mass can still get. So, probably not.

Whats the shelf life of Guiness? No room left in the fridge.

Whats with all the Cuisinart hotplates they're offloading?

Is this some new shelter in place survival equipment that they havn'e told us about yet?

probably WAY off here.. but... if you shut off the gas, then it provides something to cook with?

seems like a very odd first choice for emergency supplies.

Hard to tell. Never lasted more than a day in my house.

Stock footage from then gas explosions?

I'm guessing pop-up soup kitchens under tents or possibly cooking and delivering meals to quarantined people. I think they're doing that in the NY town that's quarantined.

Oooooh. You're so smart. There are leaves on the trees and some people are wearing short sleeves. That wasn't recorded within the past few days.

Yep, that's it.
I didn't know the NG was sent out for that.

The next time a guard member has to leave their family behind to shovel snow off of rooftops or your old broken asses out of your homes or helps save your life from any other natural disaster, I hope you all make posts commending them as much as you do hating on them.

 

[vicorjh]

Who's hating on them? They are very much appreciated.

Baker on the other hand...

True on Faker but I gotta know...

Is it cocked and locked? Load and locked? Or both?
A NESer gotta know.

 

[PL-52]

I bet I loose 3 or 4 of my best guys if they all get activated. One of my laborers is a guard member in Vermont also.

I heard the same and was told by a better source that it's just "cooks" talking shit. Real uneasy about the whole thing, just the idea makes me pissed off, but I think its BS. Hope we all are just paranoid.

Was pretty bent when I found my gym was closed today. Bars and restaurants one thing, getting weak sitting around for who knows how long because of snowflakes is another. Gonna have to come up with a chin up bar and a way to bench press for the meantime.

I'll have to make another trip then

Shoveling roofs, bringing food, rescuing people (and their pets even) from drowning, a long list if such = heros.

It's the people calling the shots I question..

But if it comes to them setting up road blocks and trying to enforce some government over-reach.. what does that make them? Hopefully just isn't happening.

"She Who's Name Must Not Be Spoken" just called me asking if Baker has shut down the state and declared martial law. Rumors are flying fast and furious.

 

[oldguy68]

To everyone in the Nation Guard,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping and I feel for you when leaving your families when they need you!
Hooah!
Pete

I've heard this message from more than one person today. Shit might be getting real but if anyone thinks it's only going to be 14 days they're mistaken.

 

[FPrice]

I am trying to figure out if this is calculated, true ignorance...or both.
