Crab Dad posted:Most of our techs were NMCI Field Service Technicians with a heavy emphasis on PC repair and security software maintenance. However we have been asked to stop poaching from the NMCI FST pool for the time being. An understanding of how a network works is useful too. i wonder how much networking expertise exists inside the military since it's a weird thing you could probably get pretty good at and coast in a MIC technician job for decades, but is of limited use in corporate america beyond a baseline unless you've lucked into one of the 20 or so jobs where you actively implement a network stack. somewhere in the bowels of a NMCI contractor is someone (probably multiple someones) who could make linux TCP/IP stack improvements but has fuckall reason to quote:OJT is super important because the ticketing system is so byzantine. ah, so it is every ticketing system.

That’s pretty high up i would think. Our local network techs mostly just reconfigure switches after power losses and keep track and assign the IP and VLAN spreadsheet. Decent enough job for people new to the industry. I know they start at 72k with the ability to work from home but their current boss prefers office work.

When things like this happen my first question is always "How did this coming out make the Navy look bad?" rather than questioning how the members hosed up.

"The Ukraine" is literally short for "the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic," so it's insulting as hell. "Ukraine" is the name of the modern nation since it gained independence in 1991. Instead of arguing, just admit you didn't know (I only learned this within the last decade) and don't be an rear end to an entire nation out of obstinacy.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:That's not what I was talking about though. Or do you actually use the phrase "the Mexico" verbatim? What about "the Canada" or "the Sweden"? My point is, if you're discussing the significance of Ukraine dropping the English article "the", "Mexico" isn't the best example, because the official name of "Mexico" would likely be correct to use "the" i.e. Estados Unidos Mexicanos (which would probably be said los Estados Unidos Mexicanos), and that has it's own history around the official name vs colloquial name. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mexico-is-technically-the-united-mexican-states-and-isnt-too-happy-about-it-143048853/ "Mexico" has a little bit of a challenge in that when we usually reference say, "Germany" it traces back to Federal Republic of Germany whereas you get Mexican or States with "Mexico". Estados Unidos Mexicanos is also a little similar to Estados Unidos de America, which has it's own issues.

Doesn't that just make Vincent Van Goatse's point even more clear? If The Mexico would be a reference to the United Mexican States, then it follows that The Ukraine would be a reference to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic which is a bit more defunct these days.

Maybe it’s just how some people talk. Like I’m going to the rite aid. I’m going to the Starbucks. It’s not correct but I still say it. I don’t think the OP is intentionally insulting a nation of people because of an incorrect use of the word the.

 Best case scenario, Ukraine successfully fights off Russia (unlikely but you never know). Likely scenario, Ukraine or chunks of it get annexed by Russia. Worst case scenario, the fighting spills into NATO countries and Article 5 gets invoked, and we all die of extreme sunshine

When you add a zero to the number of "freedom fighters" to jive with the official Russian story, it becomes propaganda. When you also deliberately type out the lovely version of the name immediately after a dozen posts pointing out why it's wrong, you've taken a side.
