It involved a brush-clearing job at Camp Bonneville near Battle Ground, Washington, which turned out to have been subcontracted from a prime contractor who had been hired by the Army to clean up unexploded ordnance and make improvements to the real property of the aforementioned Camp in order to turn it into a county park. The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries balked at underwriting workers' compensation for the hazard of unexploded ordnance, and I heard a rumor that at least one colonel and some other officials from the Army were given dishonorable discharges for improperly disbursing federal funds in excess of $5,000 to a contractor who was not properly bonded for the job under the Miller Act. The contractors were hauled into civilian federal court. White shirt, business suit, and black tie or orange jumpsuit and chains, I have no idea. My employer never got paid for the job, and some of those dishonorable colonels burned down our office as well as the neighbor's barn, and the Society of Actuaries was making noise about too many fires in town that year. You can call it a "civilian sector" but that's arguable once they start having a court-martial. The IPv6 is somewhat a federal mandate, especially for anything that involves the Department of Defense, isn't it? I use it all the time myself, and there are a lot of roadblocks in the way of things working correctly. The military, especially the Army, is notorious for bureaucracy and red tape.
