oh so right... but oh its so wrong (Score 1)

I just want to say that as someone who had worked on an NMCI team at the washington navy yard, you could not be more right. I never saw an enviroment anywhere else where the techs that were supposed to be running the network and FIXING it when it was down or broken (always) could huddle in their little room across from the server room and sit back and laugh and chill for hours on end until someone came to check up on them. Then it was a quick hush, and everyone getting up from their seats and walking across the hall to the server room to look busy. And without consequence! And this went on for the year that I worked there, probably has gone on for years, and I have no doubt will continue until the contract is rebid. Worse for me, I can't even put that year of work experience on my resume without techs looking at each other and laughing knowingly when they see that I worked on the NMCI network, and then showing me the door. DON'T GET SUCKERED INTO AN NMCI CONTRACT POSITION! it could be the end of your IT career.
