SMART social media pages
SMART social media pages
Hey everyone, I was wondering if there were other places to meet/talk to younger, civilian DoD employees (could be specific to SMART, or more broad). Anyone know of any Facebook/Instagram/reddit pages like this? Or like a discord or something? Just looking to connect with similar folks.

I dont know if there is anything like this, but i would be interested in it! I think a discord server would be a cool idea
Re: SMART social media pages
There’s technically a SMART scholarship reddit but I’m not sure how active it is. FederalSoup has a forum for generic federal employees with discussions and whatnot regarding jobs, career advice, clearance process, etc. Another sort of group would be cool though. I know my university and others have an “Overheard at XYZ University” type Facebook group.

Piggybacking off of what TomNook said, you want to look into the forum section on Federal Soup. On reddit, I found r/usajobs and r/fednews to be helpful, although those are geared towards all fed employees rather than DoD specifically.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'll add in the FEVS, which is a governmentwide survey of federal employees. In the 2019 summary, they report on page 41/45 demographics related to age.
Out of the 560,000+ who responded, only 7,269 were <= 25 years old. To really drive it home, they break it down by generation too. Only 767 were born in 1997 or later (currently <= 23 years old).
Side PSA: If anyone here is part of LGBTQ+, the FEVS is a survey to take note of. It's the only one in the government that counts you.
