I was PRP myself for many years.... ;-) And I also remember all the waivers, etc. My unclass machine, facing the internet/'world', was locked down tight as a drum. On the other hand, on my TS box, I had almost full admin rights, because we couldn't develop/test with anything less. Of course, there was no connectivity outside the internal LAN, and we still couldn't write to any device, except on a few designated machines, and you better have a good reason for creating that classified floppy/CD!

Some of them being, you are the Brigadier General and you run the freaking show(or at least we let you think you do), being the general's/colonel's/Lt. Col.'s office aide, or anyone who can not get by having us burn more than a hundred CDs for distrobution every month/week/day/hour. I so hated those freaking T****** ** ***** Reports!(Ha I bet you thought I was gonna initiate a CMI!) Not likely.

Shoot out to former member of "The fortress on the hill". I miss it, but I am glad I no longer work in a basement and have to ask permission to take cold medicine. P.S. If you do not know why I had to ask permission then you do not possess "the need to know" requirement, lmao. w00t! Shoot out to former member of “The fortress on the hill”.
