He had to be escorted to Geneva by french army jets, because the swiss airforce is only "ready during office times" (cité a spokesman of the airforce). The swiss army was already known as a bad joke, but the airforce now doubled that.
Wanna hear some more stories? A few years ago the tank departement of the army discovered 105 tanks in a mountain bunker. They were quite surprised, because they thought the tanks were "lost" - No idea when and why 105 swiss tanks can get lost, we hardly ever need them. And it's not like there are not dozens of cars the army looses every year because they can't find them anymore after they've hidden them in the woods.

If that had been posted by a non-swiss person...The Swiss would probably and aggressively not declare war on them! 
Thank you - I needed a laugh!

Oh, and did you know we have a Navy[^]?
I guess I have not mentioned that close to a kilo explosives went missing a few years ago.
And I just found out that these were not 105 tanks which were missed, 400 tanks is the right number[^]!

Talking about Liechtenstein, they once attacked Italy with 80 men and came back with 81.

Another "funny" fact about the swiss army:
About 10% of former soldiers never returned their material (assault rifle, (in some cases even ammunition), etc.) and the army has no idea who those 10% are...

That doesn't really concerns me - What concerns me is the amount of people who got a rifle, failed the 2nd psycho test and didn't gave their rifle back.

The swiss airforce also can't test their jets, cause before they reach Maximum Speed they reach the Country borders :P

Alright Admin Retards,
1: Your 'change password every 45 days' policy is nonsense.
Having hoards of mouth breathers change their password from '123' to '456' every 45 days isn't making your network more secure. They're using easy passwords because remembering a new complex password every few weeks is nonsense.
2: Your 'cannot use same password for at least 10 iterations' is nonsense.
This provides absolutely NO benefit to network security and if you think it does you should be terminated - and no, I don't mean your job.
You Nazi administrators out there that set up these stupid policies are doing absolutely NOTHING to secure your networks with these policies. While I agree with enforcing complex passwords these other extraneous policies are nothing but grief and do absolutely nothing. PRO TIP: Actually read up on your job, learn real techniques, and leave the 'appearance of security' to posers like the TSA.
It's BS like this that makes me want to leave IT altogether.

Well, I made NO secret of it being a repost. As mentioned, I thought the situation called for it!
If indeed you believe that you have read ALL posts on the CP, then you could just have skipped my post when you saw the "Repost" subject line and moved along peacefully...

This annoys me too. I tell myself it's got to be driven by some misguided regulatory call, and not an actual belief that it makes your accounts more secure, or that it is overall worth it when you factor in the IT support costs, etc. It's part of my bullshit filter, true or not.

Current policy:
Password must be changed every 60 days.
It must include an upper and lower case letter, a digit and a special character.
Minimum password length is 15 characters.
Cannot resuse one of the last 10 passwords.
I have no issues with it - it is a condition of employement.
If you don't like it, you have the option to be employed elsewhere.

that would be then:
Password-1
Password-2
...
Password-9
Password-10
-> repeat
??

You missed the 15 character minimum...
