You know it's bad when the Air Force is bitching.

I lived the Navy IT dream for many years. When we decided to go with outsourced IT through the Navy/Marine Corps Internet (NMCI) it was - and remains - an absolute cluster fsck. The USAF looked at NMCI and wisely said, "EDS will own all our stuff? Er, no. We will let Navy stuff it." The Marines "My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment" ditched it

Then we doubled down and added SAP ERP to the cesspool.

Through it all the Air Force still had relatively functional IT. Now, apparently, they get to embrace the suck
