I've had the odd experience of going to USA jobs, putting in "judge" and sometimes getting nothing even when there was a job I know of out there. With filters, without, didn't seem to matter. Eventually I've sussed them out, but with all that happens, and to avoid a multitude of threads with specific non-judge openings, I'm going to post them all here as they arise, and invite other board members to put jobs they hear about or run across here--
We all benefit when we all help. I think.
Seriously,

Talk about being off the grid!  |

Unfortunately lower paying. Relocation expenses and holiday visits could be difficult. (of course for some "love to be there for cousin Sneering's birthday, but travel time alone would kill my available vacation," would make it all worthwhile.)

Marshall Islands are freaking AWESOME.
I would go there for free if I could get my family to do it. I don't think the wife and youngest would buy in, however, and I don't think it's an easy "come back on the weekends" commute...even if I could get on Space-A.

Good to "see" you too. I'm not going anywhere, baby! I just need to have a cert put out for KC. I don't know if you saw it, but I did decide with this last opening to add Topeka (ugggh - but at least there I could drive to and fro each day), Springfield, MO (double ugggh), Columbia, MO, Lincoln, NE, Omaha, NE, Wichita, KS and Tulsa, OK to my GAL. I figure if I get one of the "others" I can rent a cheap place, bust it, set 8 or so hearings a day and meet all goals, and be home 3 days one week and 4 days the next, until I can transfer. That way I will still be able to save up all the leave for backpacking / river trips baby! My preference is still KC. All in good time I'm sure. I just get to be content with what we have. The whole "this is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it" mindset! |

I see they are advertising for these jobs.
Does anyone have any info what this job is like?
And would there be more openings at the detention center sites or the district office location?

I am going to merge this new thread with the prior thread.

Yeah, Springfield has got LOTS of good folks there. I go there quite a bit for work comp hearings. Just not my favorite place on the list.

That's one of those things that sounds cool initially, but would likely be miserable after a few months. Nice place to visit for a couple of weeks, though. When I was in the USAF, we test fired our ICBMs to Kwaj (they still do, I'm sure). Didn't use real nukes, of course. |

Do you know the angle of launch (in degrees) which gives the greatest range for an ICBM? I am assuming it would be the same as for a cannonball or an artillery round. Not to get off topic, but this thread is rather boring, with all due respect to FH. |

Not to get off topic, but this thread is rather boring, with all due respect to FH. As a missile officer, the sortie would no longer be our concern once it left the launch facility. I don't have any great insight into optimal flight dynamics for a Minuteman III ICBM, but it certainly has an extensive range. The Air Force pulls missiles from the three active wings and ships them to the California coast for testing. The flight is Cali to Kwaj with an inert reentry system. It flies many times the speed of sound when it leaves the launch facility, so the joke in the deterrence community is "30 minutes or less, or the next one's free." If I had to guess a degree number for range maximization-and this is with my near functional illiteracy in all things math and physics-I suppose it'd have to be 45 degrees, right? I threw the shot in high school and you'd always want a 45 degree put for max distance (too steep a parabolic arc if higher than that; too flat an arc if under it). Totally a guess, though. |

And a very good guess at that. I actually think 45 degrees is intuitive as that is what I immediately thought upon being presented with the problem for the first time years ago. Although throwing shot probably helped in forming your guess/answer.

Not to get off topic, but this thread is rather boring, with all due respect to FH. Degrees are nowhere near a fine enough measurement for artillery--so I can't speak to degrees. However, I can confidently state that 800 mils will get the greatest range. And math whiz that I am, if I convert 800 mils to degrees, I end up with .... er 45. 😀 |

What a diverse board. Where else can you go and talk music, launch angles on ICBMs, booze, and kudza in one afternoon, all while having your grammar and punctuation graded?

So, I'll ask my ignorant question. Is artillery even comparable to an ICBM? My perception of artillery is that they are throwing a big explosive ball into the air with no power supplied in flight by the ball, so trajectory is critical. An ICBM has an internal thrust and leaves the atmosphere, so is trajectory that critical? I would think there would be adjustment during flight.

Submarine-launched missles take off vertically. I would suspect the same with silo-launched.
Air launched, horizontally?
