discovery

Read a random definition: speedy execution

A quick definition of discovery:

Discovery is a process used in legal cases to gather information before a trial. It allows both sides to ask for evidence and documents from each other to help build their case. The rules for discovery are very broad, meaning that parties can ask for almost any information that is relevant to the case. This can be expensive and time-consuming, especially for defendants. However, some rules allow defendants to simply give plaintiffs access to their records instead of providing the information themselves. Attorneys' work product is usually protected from disclosure, but this can vary depending on the jurisdiction.

A more thorough explanation:

In civil actions, discovery is the process of gathering information before a trial. It allows parties to obtain evidence and information from each other in preparation for the trial. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have very liberal discovery provisions, which means that parties can obtain any non-privileged information that is relevant to their claim or defense.

  • A plaintiff who suspects that they were wronged can file a lawsuit, even if they do not have solid evidence. During discovery, they can force the defendant to give them evidence that they can use to build their case.
  • Parties can use several tools to get information from other parties, including interrogatories, depositions, and requests for admission. They can also compel other parties to give them access to documents, real property, or other things for review or testing.
  • An attorney’s work product is not obtainable through disclosure in most states. However, material prepared by non-attorneys for the litigation would be discoverable.

The examples illustrate how discovery works in civil actions. It allows parties to obtain evidence and information from each other, which can help them build their case. It also shows that there are rules and limitations to what can be obtained through discovery, such as the protection of an attorney's work product in most states.

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19

Psyop guys will try and convince you they are like secret masterminds. I had this one guy whose wife would call me every week and she would tell me about how her husband just like disappeared and could not be found cus he was a specialy trained psyop officer. I found his phone number and called him the same day online. That woman was gaslit so hard.

is t4 HYSC? yeah prob your odds are not too great for those with 3.7 and 171 unless you’re really extraordinary

I agree with soap on this one, just wait it out and see where you get into. You could always transfer (although I wouldn't go in with the intention of transferring)
soap
10:37
Transferring is hard and you don’t get money. I wouldn’t do anything with the intent of transferring
Disagree with the transfer. But, yeah a 3.7, 171 is not HYSC material—so unless you’re a Rhodes scholar, or something it is highly unlikely.

@m10: most of PSYOP are guys who failed SFAS and Ranger so much so they can't go back and think being SOCOM makes them SF. I loved the cultural side of it all, going to embassies and running influence operations. Doing KLEs and training with foreign militaries was amazing. Learned so much about the world by talking to those who live all over it. Then got lucky and worked with a Marine HIT overseas and would tag along when they kidnapped people to do some stuff lol The rest of the time was a lot of reports and KLEs

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Did not know that but it makes sense. That sounds like a cool career. I would have liked to have done that too. I really would have just liked to have gone OCONUS once.

I was talking to this 88H in a bar last weekend and he had some wild story about being interrogated by the FBI and CIA and shit to get a top-secret clearance or something so he could drive a forklift around Europe, Korea, and Africa. It sounded like a bunch of bullshit to me but do you know if something like that could be true?
babycat
10:45
@shaquilleoatmeal: yeah so I’ve heard
i don't know any of this military talk but i was going to be a combat medic or trauma surgeon for so long before i went this track lol, so my only exposure is seriously looking and visiting places like west point for recruitment lol. i speak russian so everyone always told me that raises your chances at those places lol
my brother is a combat medic too

@m10: was a great career, the main job is being a cultural expert building rapport and relationships with foreign nationals, militaries and even people hostile to make the area safer and at times bring in the ODAs or three letter guys to train, arm and fund them to aid in their(our) cause. OCONUS is great but not necessary, I only did two real deployments but a lot of missions to places. That is all 110% BS. I have a TS-SCI, worked with federal agencies they do nothing crazy like that.
