US Military Investigating Leak of Emails From Pentagon Server
It is not uncommon for large organizations to inadvertently expose internal data to the internet, but the fact that this is a Department of Defense email server will give U.S. officials cause for concern. It is unclear if any malicious outsider accessed the exposed SOCOM data.

I remember my time in Korea, and one of the times I was injured while doing my job. I was a member of the Army Security Agency, and my job was to monitor airway for breaches of security. I was attached to the 321’s ASA company.
One night up on hill 468, things went bad. The lights went out, and I figured that the generator was out of gas.
I went out to check and I was right. So I climbed up on the huge generator and started pouring in the gas. About half way through i slipped and was falling off of the generator. I grabbed what ever I could the break my fall. Unfortunately it was the hot manifold.
I severely burnt my hand. I still had three hours on my shift. What should I do?
I was told by my sergeant that no matter what you need to stay at your post. I went back inside and put ointment on my hand and continued working with one hand.
When my shift was over I went to the medics and they doctored me up.
Have you had an incident like this? Let me know about it.
