http://www.dtic.mil/soldiers/jul1999/news/news4.html Y2K Compliance by November IF all goes well, the Army's Y2K problems should be solved by November of this year.

The Army relies heavily on automation as a combat multiplier. The Army is attempting to ensure that Y2K doesn't adversely effect mission-critical and non-mission-critical systems, as well as the quality of life for soldiers and their family members.

According to the Army Y2K Program Office, the schedule for Army systems to be Y2K compliant is as follows:

The Army's mission-critical systems are scheduled to be 98 percent Y2K compliant by next month and 100 percent by October. The Army's non-mission-critical systems are scheduled to be 99 percent Y2K compliant by next month and 100 percent by November. The Army's installation key facilities infrastructure devices affecting safety, security and core mission are scheduled to be 100 percent Y2K compliant before next month. -- Army Y2K Program Office

We can only hope, that if anybody is compliant, it's the American military and civil control in general...Cross your fingers...Seems to be a lot of systems that aren't going to make it...

Well, finally some good news! So when can my son-in-law, who was discharged six months ago, expect his mustering out pay? Surely, one of those compliant systems will process one of the three submissions for payment he has made since being released.
