It's not just the army. I still get occasional sms messages telling me the 
system is down and wanting me to fix it at the place I was made redundant from 
3.5 years ago. Not so long ago one of the help desk guys phoned me to demand 
why I hadn't responded and why wasn't I fixing a SEV1. I explained to him, but 
it seems I am stuck on their support rota forever.
