A couple of soldiers from the S6 section came by Josh's office today. I asked them what the S6 section does. They told me that the S6 section on a staff used to be called a "signal" section, but now their job has become much more complicated! Instead of just working with radios, now they work with radios, sattellite telephones, Sattellite communication dishes, voice-over-IP telephones, computer systems, email servers, and tons of other things! For these two soldiers, though, their job involves lots and lots of Ethernet computer network stuff. They work with switches, routers, hubs, and lots and lots and lots of cable! When they came by Josh's office, they were re-routing a bunch of cable. Naturally I tried to help.

SPC Carrigan was pounding brackets into the wall so that she could hang the cable up off the floor. Naturally, anything that involves whacking or pounding comes naturally to me, so I immediately jumped in to help. Not shown: Me repairing the wall after I smashed through it.

SPC Wehr was using a probe to test to see if the cables were working. Here she is showing me how to do that.

Stone Cold tries to help the S6 - I tried to help SPC Wehr and Carrigan with some of the cable, but it ended up being a bit of a disaster. Oh, well. Maybe I was just meant to be an infantryman.
