Yes, I'm enlisted in the Air Force. My rating is a "communications computer systems operations journeyman" -- long ass title eh? What do I do? Well my first half year was spent in schools learning computer crap (all of which I already knew). The next 8 months were spent in a communications center, which transmits/receives classified messages. (basically a glorified postman :-) After that I was brought onto the Year 2000 team, whose goal is to fix the year 2000 problem on ALL systems on base. That consists of PC's, Servers, Weapons Systems, Flight Test Systems (that's our main prob right now, this base is the Air Force Flight Test Center, lots of cool stuff :-)
Anyway, I recently (as in: YESTERDAY) transferred over to "information protection" -- which means I am one of the 3 people on base that make sure all the classified/unlcassified info that is on all our networks isn't comprimised. Also, I get to get people in trouble who are using Government computers for lame shit like games, porno, others.
Interesting? Sometimes. Would I suggest anyone join? NEVER -- it sucks. No freedom. It's not worth it to me.
