Yeah, low level input operator.

Like when they really killed of a few hundred troops at JRTC.

In one of the early rotations when JRTC was just getting started somebody in the Brigade S-1 shop forgot to clear all the play casualties. Went back to home station, plugged in an "poof" they were dead. IIRC nobody really noticed until payday - then the SHTF.

Took a while to undue since when the Army says you're dead - you are dead.

This is a millennium error. All the 2 digit yr codes should have been changed to 4 digits 15 yrs ago and the field audit should also have been fix'd..

My org started fixing the date codes in the mid-80t's.

Just plain stupid..
