This Explains It
Yesterday, we were told that we could no longer use any kind of external media (government issued or personal) on any DoD computer system anymore. This is more than an “inconvenience” as a lot of our daily work is carried out via thumbdrive/External hard drive. Its the best way to transport documents, carry classes (I carry all my CLS materials on a thumbdrive), etc. Not to mention the Army has been pushing paperlessness for at least a couple decades. With the announcement yesterday, we have been sent back to the 80’s where we have to carry around large books with documents, make tons of copies, and carry laptops around just to get any work done. Of course, as is the norm with the army, it was never explained why this came about.
