Putting this same thing together on SIPR would be quite simple... that is of course until you got involved with NMCI/ONENET sipr... arghhh....

You mean SIPR being run by NMCI? It's a reality stateside.
Brett
Our (Okinawa) SIPR isn't NMCI yet. What I meant was has anybody made any serious attempt to put AW (or something like it) on the SIPR? I'd imagine the paperwork and reada$$ would be monumental. Is it even possible? I know that the computer stuff would work (just like NIPR), but I wonder what The Man's position would be. This would be very useful on SIPR.

Of course I can. In this day and age, when defense spending is at a relative low (as a % of GDP), the "single mission capable" platform is a luxury we can't afford. Especially when OCA sweep has hardly been the great struggle of TACAIR recently.
In Kosovo, the ATO put a huge demand on Prowlers. In Afghanistan, they put a huge demand on Tomcats for FAC(A), and F-15Es for being able to carry a sh!tton of bombs. Nowadays the Marine Corps' -18D community is getting deployed like crazy for their FAC(A) capability as well.
But don't worry, everyone! Never fear, the Raptor has come to relieve all your problems by sweeping the skies of all those Sukhois which were bothering you over Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq
It's called misdirecting energy. Cool plane, and I'd love to have them on my side, but there's a lot better places the Chair Force could have directed their considerable resources. Again, too bad there isn't a SIPR AW...
I'm just curious how widely proliferated SIPR is throughout the fleet... over here just about nobody's got it...
Where's over here?
I would say SIPR is widely proliferated and used throughout the fleet.

At my current job I have both computers on my desk. In most fleet squadrons they have a couple computers in a room/vault somewhere. Not easy, but not impossible either.
As a RAG instructor I had to try to get SIPR in the squadron spaces. LOTS and LOTS of BS paperwork, abject "No Way" from the Wing computer homo, and general red-a$$ from everybody in The Peoples Republic of Cherry Point. Depending on where you're at, you may have it on your desk, in your squadron somehwere, or maybe in another building (painful).
Just as a bit of advice, whenever you send somebody a SIPR e-mail, make sure you follow up with NIPR or a phone call. I keep forgetting that some people don't have ready access and won't know they have an inbound message rifht away unless you give them a heads up.

It's pretty standard in the Prowler community. Each squadron has a vault/office and the RAG has a whole vaulted wing that is "Secure." I'm frankly surprised (shocked) that other communities aren't "hooked up."
Brett
Yeah, our Intel room is "Secure" and has SIPR access.

We have to go across the street and have a DH login. Non SWTIs/DHs are not entrusted with a SIPR logon here. I have tried to get a login from the IT man, and I get told I don't need it.
2 years ago they ynked my desk out of my office and put a "safe/vault/server" thingie there. They also did a VERY ghetto install. Conduit running in P-ways, etc. NOT a good install IMHO.
And now we can't get the 'puters becasue the building is not secure enough.

What? That is fvcking retarded! So, SWTIs/DHs are the only pilots who are allowed to access the latest intelligence and tactical information? That is elitist and short sighted.

I think it is an IT-Nanny Mindset issue. 60 Pilots and 30 AWs x 5 squadrons is a lot of people, and they don't want the hassle. Even though it is their job.
I haven't tried since I made LT, maybe I can get it now. Funny, how the SHOES give you SIPR on the boat, even if you are only there a week.

The VFA community in NAS Oceana...
Yeah, 'cause your AWs of all people would NEVER need access. Your IT guys are retards (and that's w/ all due respect to real live retards who might draw offense at the comparison).
Ouch. Just to highlight the difference, I was forced by my Chief to get SIPR access when I was an E-5 work center sup. Just kind of curious about the reasons for some communities handing out access, while others keep such a tight rein on it.
