We've had the "paperless" office for fifty years now, and are still relying on tons of paper - and you think the military is gonna catch up?

We'll be done with paper after we've made trees extinct. But then we'll just have sheets of plastic.

I was in the military years ago, even then a lot has been digitized, this would have been definitely transmitted digitally. Though it probably would have been sent over SIPR or something because it would be something classified to COs or maybe XO

I got tons of orders sent to my military email, PCS orders, directive changes, DoD notifications etc. and even an online portal where you could pull up your historical transmittals with your CAC card

Though a lot of internal command business is done with a mix of paper and digital, just about any communications between an individual command and DoD or "Big Air Force/Navy/Army/Marines" was done digitally

Clearly my mind is stuck in the '90s.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
