Makes one wonder whatever happened to the NRO and the DMA. These alphabet soup organizations proliferate like fungi on the damp side of an oak tree. ;)

At onetime NGA had some great stuff you could download. Now everything is hid behind a firewall unless you have a .mil 'puter.

Then you have to subscribe and fillout a form almost listing unit security officer and a bunch of personal info. :mad:

How far down the org chart should he be able to go without pause?

Government's job is to grow Government. A mid level employee works to get more people, so he needs more office space, so he can fill it with more workers so he can justify a pay raise, so he can get more workers, so he.........

And so it goes.
