Maybe I'd buy some. Macho cool huh.? :) I hope things don't go as boring as expected with classwork, though. Hope to hear more from here. Hahaha, that bit about the sunflower seeds was funny.

We process soldier's promotions, awards, leave, insurance, pay grade, and all that kind of stuff. We are also involved in more humbling tasks like casualty reports and drafting letters of sympathy and condolence. You know those statistics you see on the nightly news about how many soldiers died in Iraq that day or the day before? Forty Two Alphas are the guys that process all of the paperwork to get the word out. First to the soldier's family and then out to everyone else. And we use off-the-shelf software like Windows and MS Office but Army hardware and databases like that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_small_aperture_terminal" rel="nofollow">VSAT</a> stuff I was talking about on one of my other posts and <a href="https://www.eis.army.mil/wwwroot20070123/pid127.htm" rel="nofollow">eMILPO</a>.

So - is it stuff like requisitioning equipment, or more like financial accounting? Do you use off-the-shelf computer equipment (Windows, etc.), or is there some super advanced, DARPA-built REQUISITION-9000 system? Yay paperwork!
