The Trump Presidency 2.0

SECWAR can change that, but has not. As I posted much earlier Signal is explicitly banned for use by the DoW. Because of that I'm a little perplexed why we don't have a memo rescinding the use of Signal, especially in light of these events.

Back to your point, I do not know because I have to conduct my business via Teams on a gov't provided computer/ virtual machine, using my CAC for authentication. I also do not know how it works with a gov't issued phone which I'd expect SECWAR to possess unless he's "running his own email server" so to speak.

We do have a memo and the transition was to WickrGov.

Dude didn't care about guns until his wife was shot. He pivoted to full on "common sense gun rights." He was primed for TDS the day the shooting happened.

The kicker? The shooter is a lolbert and most likely is in prison with TDS himself.

Same. Team. But let's blame anyone not left of center yeah?

That guidance either hasn't gone to the Navy or our Ech II hasn't provided us with the memo. Our software management tool has it listed as Disapproved. The only current news articles out there have the Army using the app, but not the Navy or Air Force. The latter's most recent is from 2021/ 2022 timeframe.

Maybe it is an Army / SOCOM thing? I don't know, but it isn't in DoN.

It was SOCOM, we had to switch in 20/21 timeframe, literally everything moved there and it suuuuuucked. It never caught on AF wide; my favorite part of this whole thing was going downrange and trying to figure out how we were going to get the partner force to use WICKR and the outgoing team said they didn't even try... and just used WhatsApp... on the Chinese owned network...
 
I'm glad this has come up because it forced me to dig a little. Nerd stuff: the Navy uses Azure, virtual desktops for the masses being a new (this year) thing. The Army's cloud is AWS. The Air Force cloud is something different. Wickr is supposed to operate across the platforms.
How much IT/ computer interoperability have y'all experienced between the services? You have a CAC? Great. Can you use that for every network? Nope. Some of that is good IT management or maybe a tech limitation. Don't know, don't care but consider using this joint app across different (and competing) cloud services in an environment where there is no single logon or authentication across domains.

And each branch has its own budget for its own cloud. Installation, operations, and maintenance.

It is a Friday so only 1/3 of my peers are here, but no one's heard of Wickr. Now this all makes sense.

Good thing that 20+ years of GWOT taught us how to be Joint. At least our GAL can see email from other branches though it is usually dated. Little victories, I guess?
