DoD does their own thing.  You know that man.  I don't think they've
strictly adhered to NIST standards yet, and then they wonder why
everything is so out of place and unorganized and why they can't keep up
with coming threats.  Even with the NSA standing right behind them
saying: "Damn bro, you're doing it all wrong"

I've seen them do dates as DD/MM/YYYY, MM, D, YYYY and then every other
type of regional format known to man.  I don't know how they do it, how
everybody handles it, and how they haven't enforced some unity in the
entire process.
