Running Networks Where Failure Means Lives Lost

What happens when the network going down means losing situational awareness, targeting data, or medical evacuation coordination? This episode explores the world of military network administration — from the US Army's Signal Corps and DISA's global operations to the IDF's conscript model. We examine air-gapped networks like SIPRNET and JWICS, the physical reality of sneakernets and cryptographic zeroization, and how redundancy extends to airborne relays and diverse routing paths. It's a job that looks nothing like civilian IT, where the network is literally classified as a weapon system. Episode #285787 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/285787
