You’d think the DoD’s astronomical budget would cover this.
From what I’ve seen, a lot of the money goes to multiple layers of mid-level managers who don’t actually do anything.
Someone has to manage managements managers that manage the managers managers.
Not even that, theres lots of DoD employees (non-managers) that get paid pretty well just to sit on their asses and do not much of anything all day. It’s the biggest social welfare program in the US.
I thought that was the TSA
The problem is two fold, the first is that any change in process or procedure has to be approved by a committee that probably has nothing to do with IT at all; and the second is that the DoD is full of higher ranking officers that if you have a 3 day turn around for a repair – for example, they will threaten your very existence unless they are not done immediately.
The only solution I can think off is that the IT has to be removed from the DoD, and assigned its own budget and director.
