"The Old Boy Network is alive and well at the Red River Army Depot. If you come in as an outsider, you will remain an outsider. I have seen a secretary with no IT experience get promoted to IT and once within IT. Now she is equal to my pay and I have 40 years experience in computer hardware and software. She still can't tell the difference between a NIC card and a modem card. Let alone the different kinds of RAM, hardware connections, parallel or serial ports, you get the drift. It is not what you know, it is who you know."
