I'm just glad they're finally taking this sort of shit seriously.
Very humorously ironic post.
The whole cyber command thing bugs me because its so expensive but does so little. I'm sure they'll have a huge command of generals and various other officers giving each other endless powerpoints about "synergisticly proactively defending the cyber battlefield". Trust me, no patches are going to get applied. Mostly a bunch of resume stuffing for the post-military career. Probably a lot of puzzling over how it could be that the more managers they put on the job, the slower the work gets done. Probably a lot of really pompous posing going on too, I'm leet, so leet, its classified and I can't tell you how leet I am, but trust me I'm just the most leet ever. And a lot of "I'm working so hard that you wouldn't believe it, but its all classified so I can't actually tell you what I'm working on" as he returns to his minesweeper game. I guarantee they'll have a vaguely NORAD like NOC 24x7 with dim lights and big screen TVs, with very expensive software to monitor... their departmental intranet, and maybe they'll have isc.sans.org on refresh every 30 seconds to see whats going on, maybe, but that would probably be too clueful.
All they need to do, is get more admins, more equipment, and tell them to keep up with the times, read slashdot, whatever. The last thing they need is infinitely more commanders and procedures to gum up the works even worse.
I thought we are already doing that now?
Fact is, it's the enlisted who look at the officers like the morons they really are when it comes to executing and implementing any IT system. More often than not, the mantra is, "You want me to do what sir? Okay, if you say so..." Of course our enlistment contracts end and we get out into the real world.

I have been running servers in tents in the Marine Corps for years
You know as a student graduating out of school and about to hit the fleet. I have a bad feeling being a network admin is going to suck....
I know logitech has software(windows only) that you can establish a secure connection for your keyboard.
