What happens when decision makers never go to sea or deploy ...

This is absolutely insane. It should be at duffleblog, but no - this is what happens when you create entire career paths that are not actually involved in warfighting and no one in the chain of command has any clue what it means after over a decade of war and, well for the Navy, centuries of getting underway working 18 hr days with little to no bandwidth.

Even in 2013 ... via Mark D. Faram at NavyTimes;

The following mandate went out Tuesday via the official Navy Detailer’s Facebook page: Sailors must now log in to “most Navy systems” every 30 days or their accounts will be deactivated. A reactivation will require a call to the Navy and Marine Corps Internet help desk (and possibly a long wait).

The Facebook post fails to mention which websites will require regular logins. However, the Navy Reserve posted a list of 18 sites (provided below) that are impacted by this new policy. Three of those sites are reserve specific. The rest impact everyone in uniform.The Navy Reserve posted the following list of websites and applications requiring monthly logins:

I'm sorry - can we have someone gibbeted as a warning to others?

Not torqued of about the tail wagging the teeth enough yet? Check the incredibly wrong headed attitude of the Facebook post. The Millington Diktat delenda est.

They even advertise that NMCI customer service blows. What's next? DTS slamathon?

I know CNP is a P-3 bubba soaked in lots of bandwidth and all ... but dude; someone between the good-idea fairy in the N6 Dept and N00 didn't say, "Stop, this is stupid."?

Hat tip Chap.
