I got out and started working at these companies and the carelessness is to much. The military relies on them to train but all they care about is money. Even going so far as to delete information out of manuals to force reliance on them. It's really bad but Everytime I see something done wrong or broken I remember why it had to be done right. It force's me to relive my past. Everytime I messed up I watch someone else pay

But I was a soldier in Afghanistan in 2010 and my role was to over watch units on the ground. We had radios to communicate but since it wasn't our job to program and set them up. They didn't really work. Well we found an ied in the road a few hundred meters ahead of the convoy and we called it in locally with our radios. Well everyone had skipped out on radio training and no one was able to reach the convoy. We watched them explode. I immediately grabbed all the radio books to make sure it doesn't happen again. But more different things happen and I learned more. Everything linked to a death... I got really good at my job because I was scared to get someone killed. But the better I got the more the military used me. Eventually making me a teacher.

Working for the DoD is like working in the DMV. Teaching the military is awesome but I hate military contractor culture, know one really knows everything they need to know to teach and since the contract is set in stone mostly. You can't get fired easy. Every problem is answered with "not my problem" million dollar systems breaks and it was totally preventable while being inside of our relm of work. And since it doesn't affect pay fuck it.

To anyone else this is the job to get. It's stable and high paying.

Didn't get it

I have a job interview tomorrow for a first responder job dealing with Linux. It's 3 hours long... In DoD everything has the same framework but I have no idea what I'm walking into with this new civilian job. I'm currently running different Linux VM's and fucking with all the different ways to do the samething. But if it doesn't go through I have a DoD interview teaching networking and server's Monday.

I feel like I'm on another planet then you guys

I'll only worked with SSH in Linux but I use it daily at work and home, but during an interview I was asked what putty was... Still mad

Some how the bios got corrupted and the keyboard is not recognizing on boot up. I'm using the server as a training tool to get more familiar with redhat but I used an older OS disk. I plan to break the thing a lot more as I learn the difference between CentOS and Debian. Currently installing CentOS 6.9 which matches better with the hardware.

Um well CentOS with a bunch of shit selected...

But yeah

Is that Solaris i see, I operated a station with Solaris 8 with a crazy slow 650 mhz ultraspark and 2 GB ram till 2015 and we moved to redhat

I'm a senior instructor for military tier 2 UAS and C4I technician but can't get an entry level IT job.

Welcome to DoD
