[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you afraid that our military will be at a disadvantage if they use private sector weather data?  This is the attitude that leads the military to "procure" $900 toilet seats vs. the $20 ones available at the store.

Either way, the post you're responding to isn't about the military.  It's about the claim that there will be far more "devastation" in Florida this year if there are NOAA layoffs.  Do you agree with the lady that there will be?  Or do you agree with me that there won't be?[/quote]
Yes I am.  NOAA produces a daily world weather report which is included in every briefing I have ever seen in the military.  I guess you want those guys to all download accuweather instead?  Oh wait, they aren’t allowed to connect to the internet since it would give away their location. The military doesn’t have the option of using a private sector service — you are honestly saying you want troops using data generated with who knows what accuracy?  Next why don’t we move everyone to publicly hosted gmail accounts because well it works for me at home so it should work for you in the field.
You guys are seriously talking out of your ass.  You are cutting things that you have no idea what they do.  You really are putting peoples lives in danger.  [/quote]
