"What's the UNIX code for a remote server shutdown, Maggot?"
It'd also be the only one of the uniformed services that wouldn't have a physical training standard. I just can't imagine pudgy little geeks doing push ups and chin ups.
First person shooter games for their firing range time.
You’d probably still need to have a physical standard, since this Cyberforce could potentially be deployed to a combat zone.
They might want to make the standard a little lower, though.
Designing the boot camp would be interesting. I’d keep the marching and the physical training and the boot shining. One thing I’d modify is that I’d try to have exercises that throw them off balance. For example, they return to the barracks after class and discover all the beds are unmade and clothes are thrown on the floor and there’s an inspection in an hour.
I’d also take a page from the F.B.I. training and give them tests on written material when they are tired. In a big cyberattack, computer people might have to work some very long shifts.
