IT Training in the Military?

firehzd1 asks: "Yesterday's article about the new Czar of Security for the Department of Homeland Security raises a very important question, especially lately. What type of opportunities are there for IT work in the military/government. It seems every article I read is bashing the govt/military for terrible IT decisions/systems but I never hear the other side of the story. How bout we hear from those in the field that can give us a idea of what it is like behind the other side of the heavily armed gate?"

    No, I described a leader. You need to look up the difference. Just because you've seen people who couldn't lead or manage a group of kindergardeners going to the bathroom, doesn't mean that it's a lost art. Most Marine officers get a minimum of five years worth of leadership and management training and application pounded into their heads before they even step in front of a platoon.
