Also in the mil the only people who's daily work is not classified are rifle carriers, truck mechanics, and cooks, and you can't do any of that at home. What are they going to do, install SCIF's in everybody's off-base apartment?
Have to respectfully disagree. I know several who are teleworking and even leadership has agreed that productivity has actually increased in many areas. Yes there are some issues but overall cost is down on utilities etc. and a very large savings on office supplies. Especially when people aren't printing personal paperwork. Like everything much is about perception and arguably the pandemic has changed all our perceptions and acceptance of teleworking. Agree that some mil work will have to stay on SIPR ( with not all that many overall and not every workday)and a certain number of pax will have to be on-site definitely. Of course the more teleworking means fewer people to expose those who have to be on base/post. My .02
