I wonder what a someone from the Major Shared Resource Center was doing visiting Bloodless Coup? It came up in the site meter as a simple hpc.mil, but nothing comes up for that site. What comes up from google is this:
DoD Warning

Well, I suppose I should say welcome to some DoD person, who is visitor 15,370.

Or maybe not. Searching the IP address brings this:

SPAWAR Command Information
Mission Statement
SPAWAR Enterprise “delivers” FORCEnet – "transforming information into decisive effects."
Vision Statement
“FORCEnet is the decisive weapon for the future Force”
Commitment
“We are dedicated to the Joint warfighters, who stand in harms way preserving our peace and defending our nation and its allies against aggression at home and abroad.”Hey, it is the Navy after all. And they have this fun-looking thing called FORCEnet.
FORCEnet is not an IT program or even a series of programs. It is a foundation and catalyst -- an ..."operational construct and architectural framework for Naval Warfare in the Information Age which integrates Warriors, sensors, networks, command and control, platforms, and weapons into a networked, distributed combat force, scalable across the spectrum of conflict from seabed to space and sea to land."
-- CNO Strategic Study Group XXI DefinitionIf you check out their handy organizational chart, it shows where the SPAWAR fits in with other missions (below "ships," evidently). Clicking on the orgchart takes you to the Program Executive Office, which obviously has people reading Dilbert, since their motto is "Setting a Course: Acquiring IT for an Evolving Enterprise." Very catchy.
Now, I'm a computer dummy in the scheme of things. I just had some time on my hands today because my brain was fried from too much grading, and I decided to visit our sitemeter stats while cleaning out more porn spam from the comments and pings. If someone was really trying to hide, and throw up these IPs as a screen, I'd be fooled, and I wouldn't have the skills to track it down. I do know people in the industry because of my line of work, and they are far too smart to visit my website from their work computers, and they aren't in the Navy part of the industry anyway. So, what the hell?
Moral of the story? Do you play with your sitemeter and ARINWHOIS? Maybe you should.
And I should add a beret tip to Jesus' General who started me thinking about all this awhile ago after he found special visitors at his site.
