Army = AWESOME

I wish computers came with a sarcasm font - because the army is definetely the easiest and most well rounded group of individuals to work with. Let me explain this to you with my experience on the second day of work: an email arrives in my inbox asking me to fill out the attached form regarding something that we just had a meeting about. I dont know who the guy is that sent me the email, nor do i really care. I dont even bother opening the attachment to see if i can even help the guy out. In my mind i think that it is an army dude asking me to do an army thing, and I am not army. Anyways, I vector the email into the right direction. someone in my office tells me that there is a navy chief who should answer the question - so i send it to him. He in turn forwards it to 2 MSgt's and that is when chaos broke loose. Apparently the attachment had the word "secret" written across the top and bottom. However, there was nothing that needed to be classified as secret because the page litterally asked five question: who, what, where, when, and why. Well, because the 2 MSgt's forwarded the email to someone who saw the attachment as "secret" and didnt bother to actually see what so was "secret" about it - they started an investigation. Im telling you the Comm IT guru's and everyone started tracking down people within the email distro because a "secret" document had been passed without useing the "Secret" Internet channels. Computers were confiscated (luckally mine wasnt) and military people were being threatened with Article 15's! For those non-military types, that means some serious paperwork was going to be handed down on people, paperwork that could jeopardize your career. Some time later, the Army peeps got it through their head that nothing had happened and that no "secret" document had been emailed through. By the end of all of this I wanted to actually meet the captain who started all this nonsense... I guess the Army is just a little too jumpy when it comes to having the word "secret" on their letterheads.
