Don't you remember when [your favorite website] was down for two weeks because they just unplugged the servers to work on them?

Commercial networks have motivation (profit) to stay running 24/7. The military doesn't, we'll never go out of business, we'll just get worse and nobody can ever really tell. Even at the execution level, we're nothing more than a big tech school sandbox. Everyone is inexperienced and no one gets fired for not being good. 

If we ever want to get serious about being better, all the non-combat jobs should be outsourced to the combat-related guys can spend time getting better.

The "services down due to an inadvertent software update push" last week on the front page of the portal was comical. Not their fault, "it" did it. Comm doing what they do best.
