So, something strange happened, I haven't seen it before, anyone know what in the hell is going on with this?
And then afterwards, you get this
A nice little animated picture full of wtf
EDIT: Whatever it was you apparently can't bring it up anymore. But I caught it in all it's wtf glory.

I thought it was just IE messing it up. This entire site looks like shit on IE, but I can't use anything else, because the army sucks.

Ah, another Army user. I'm Army as well, but I'm IT. Install google chrome, you don't need admin rights to install it.

Belive me, I've tried. They have these machines locked down tight in terms of installing software.

When I installed chrome on my computer, I tried to install it, then cancelled it out, and then a pop up came up that said "You don't need admin rights to install this software! Continue?"
I think it just installs it locally on your profile, it's worth a shot, anythings better than IE. What post are you at btw?

I see you're using Firefox, and it looks like there's some text next to the pic that says ".. of you who don't use Chrome!" I'm guessing it's some sort of "easter egg"?

On the Militaty side we manage and build alot of army bases, and on the civilian side we do dams, levees, roads, Infrastructre etc. You probably first heard about us a few years ago when huricane Katrina wiped out our levees in New Orleans. That was some bad press. We though have dealt with all the subsequent storms pretty well.

Ah alright. So is that like a regular mos for the Army, you could reclass into it?

I think so, if you have the right qualifications. We do have alot of people in uniform here as well as a alot of retired army people working as civilians, but mostly we have civilians.

What kind of qualifications? Like, an engineering degree? (hah, partial pun intended but I am serious)

Well its like getting any other job, where the qualifications meet the job description. Alot of people here have their P.E. (professional engineer), some even have a PHD, or just an assosiated degree.

The Corps of Engineers obviously drives the Army trains...
