Oh, so priceless.
Indeed, the Federal Consulting group should probably also have had
exclusive dominion over the other military dimensions of DBA work, such
as General Slowness, Private Rollback Segment, Colonel Parameter, Major
Failure, and probably the Command Prompt as well. All running on a
Commodore 64.
Someone stop me :-(

Reminds me of the old JD Edwards "while paper" that stated that the
Oracle parameter "SPIN_COUNT" should be set to a value derived from the
number of disk drives on which the database is housed multipled by the
RPM of those drives. For example, if your database is situated on eight
hard drives of 10,000 rpm apiece, then the Oracle parameter "SPIN_COUNT"
(later "_SPIN_COUNT") should be set to 80,000.
When I worked at Oracle Consulting in the 1990s, I worked for the
"commercial" consulting group that dealt with non-government,
non-military customers -- governmental or military organizations were
the province of the "federal" consulting group. One day, one of the
practice managers from the "federal" group stopped by to get something
off his chest. He asked us why our group was dealing with "Federal
Express" and why the "federal" group wasn't handling that customer?
Ummm.... hmmmm.... where to start? I'm surprised he didn't ask why we
were dealing with "General Motors", as well... too bad he didn't ask
about "corporal punishment"... :-)
You just can't make this stuff up. <shake-of-head>
