CMCoE // Unofficial satire. Serious preservation.
Institutional memory // curated public collection
The jokes may be absurd. The records must be accurate.
This growing collection preserves approved CMCoE history with original sources and clearly labeled interpretation. It is not a complete download of the Facebook group.
CMCoE began as DoD Contracting Memes on August 18, 2020. It became Contracting Memes on June 8, 2021, and Contracting Memes Center of Excellence (CMCoE) on July 23, 2021. Explore 21 selected early sources: 19 meme images, one video source record and the July naming discussion. These are recovered early records, not a verified first-20 sequence. Comments and intervening history remain incomplete.
Thirty more selected posts from June 11–23, 2021: learning the FAR through memes, source selections, mission partners, EOFY recognition and the chaplain’s pizza. Includes 29 post images, three discussion attachments and 57 preserved comment records. One displayed comment remains unavailable; reaction GIFs and other gaps are identified. This owner-log selection is not a complete group-wide chronology.
Thirty selected posts from June 23–July 4, 2021: contracting frustrations, collaborative contractor-profile parodies, playful expert titles, and a contemporary report of passing 300 members.
