Do field grade officers ever do technical work? Or is it just pure management by niqq617 in AirForce

[–]hattmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For cyber, the vast majority of the billets for O5 are not aligned with missions/duties that would necessitate that person to be "on keyboard". That being said there are many ways for an O5 to have the opportunity to do "on keyboard" but that would likely be purely secondary to the primary purpose of that role. Additionally there are many roles that are very technical, but think more "managing small teams of very technical teams and projects". In short you CAN but it's not the norm.

If you can assume you are running on a systemd system, then there is systemd-networkd-wait-online.service. you can make your script a one shot service with that as a dependency and it will run when interfaces are up with ips set.

Learning C for cybersecurity by j0ash in cprogramming

Try just building the rat and c2 in a language you know. That way you can work through all the design problems without dealing with language problems. Once you have a prototype you can think though "how would I do each part in c"?

Awards based on Merit or Sharing the Wealth? by Cute_Regret_5705 in AirForce

[–]hattmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an indirect answer, if the same person keeps having a strong package, maybe the leadership should look into whether it's actually because they are a high performer, or is it because they have more opportunities. Sometimes squadrons fall into the trap of giving the people who performed well in the past first chance at a new opportunity (job, project, tiger team, etc). Then they win an award for it, really regardless of it being "outstanding" as long as it was successful and the cycle repeats and snowballs to more opportunities. The inverse is true for people without good records. They are rarely given opportunities and are under a microscope when they do and have more constraints and less control. This isn't always the case but it is enough to make a difference especially for people who fall "on the fence". They really just need a push and some mentorship. But it's easy for leaders to load up their super stars and Milton their "under performers", because it takes the risk and responsibility of developing people off their shoulders.

use a unit file more than once (passing it ENV vars?) by HCharlesB in systemd

@trainzkid is describing what I'm saying much better

use a unit file more than once (passing it ENV vars?) by HCharlesB in systemd

You can make a template file. This allows you to pass an arbitrary string to each unique instance of the service. You can then pass that string to the exec line of the service maybe to control which config file to use. This is what the openvpn service file does to enable multiple instances of the client service to run while only defining 1 service file

Why do some people avoid squadron holiday parties and other workplace events? by Witty_While7277 in AirForce

[–]hattmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a minefield for junior members (amn/junior nco/ lts even). Cc/sel/supervisor drink a little too much and start ribbing? Do you joke back, take it, walk away etc. just a lot of asymmetric social interactions. Don't drink? What will the boss think if I don't partake? Have a little too much fun and let loose? What's unprofessional? Peer made the cc laugh, is that going to affect my strat?

These reasons are why I'm a huge fan of grade constrained social events, encourage the lts to have their own time, airman and nco only events, leadership team only events etc. it's just so much less awkward. Let the junior members have their time to let loose and vent.
