My program ran out of Money. My official tasking ends tomorrow and I have no fuckin clue what that means because my boss doesn't know what I'm gonna do either.
Is this shit normal in defense? I'm sitting here worried they'll send me home

, they have invested in you, gotten you security clearance, trained you on the language.
They will keep you busy on something, or just on waiting mode. They will not fire you, if they do, you will have a better job in 2 weeks. I guaranteed it.

Yes, it's normal, and no, they won't likely send you home. There is always something else around the corner. If you were truly in deep shit, you'd know: They'd be pigeonholing you on the same never-ending menial tasking forever. That's when you know your goose is cooked.

Well I know programs commonly run out of money. O guess what I didn't know was if it's common for you to not be sure what you're doing Monday at the end of the previous week

As a consultant? Yes. That's why I'm not one anymore.
The only value add in being a FTE is that I know I won't be sitting at home, unpaid, if something does fall through the cracks. When I was a consultant, my renewals came through at the 11th hour on the last possible day, every single time, and sometimes that meant not going to work for a week (and not getting paid) while all of the paperwork was dealt with, approved, and security clearances were brought up to date.
Still doesn't mean I know what I'll be doing next week. They change shit around on me constantly. At least I know I'll be earning a living, though.
