If they are calling to whine at you... you are probably working in a facility under DISA control. That being the case, why would you turn off a DISA ATM switch without directions from DISA to do so? You being in the military, and being assigned to a facility with DISA equipment, places you under DISA control. Don't say that isn't true, because I know you are supposed to abide by DISA regulations and I'm sure you've had to bust your ass to prepare for those ever so fun DISA inspections:) But yeah, I think for the military, the WAN side is a bit more important then the LAN side. The LAN side of military networks, is just like any other LAN.. 80% of all trouble tickets are simply resetting a locked account.
Anyway, in addition to providing trunks and connectivity, DISA also has several RNOC's which are responsible for routers, servers, and firewalls on the defense network. In addition, as the military networks continue to move towards implementing SAN solutions, who do you think is controlling these?
As far as not DISA controlling traffic on the WAN... DISA controls all traffic on the WAN. DISA controls the priority for circuits on the DATM and the IDNX, and will drop non-essential circuits when needed based on their DISA assigned priority.
DISA also has the Computer Emergency Response Team for the military. So um.. Yeah. I don't think it's me who doesn't quite know what they are talking about.
All military communications and networks are controlled by one agency. This allows interoperability and consistency between the various branches of the US military (Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines). This agency is known as DISA. The Defense Information Systems Agency. And yes, DISA is responsible for sensitive and classified information systems. However, it is no big secret on how to seek employment with DISA.
If you people would just put your ?LINUX: For Dummies? book down for just a 5 minutes, and take a look at DISA?s homepage. Go ahead and find the super secret area on the bottom right hand side of their homepage which says ?EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES? and click one of the links.
Hope that helps.
