And to top it all off, just to keep the end-user on-side...
AFPAA have decided in their infinite wisdom to not post daily sitreps on the farce that is JPA - oh no - they're only going to post weekly summaries. Telling us what's going on as it happens? - that would let people know that they haven't got a scooby what's gone wrong.
So, it's only Monday and despite Self-Service users supposedly having access from 1230, by 1330 the Server appears to have crashed and the system went RED and AFPAA don't want to give information out - medals for the guilty have already been issued and the hunt for the innocent is on! Wonder what other excuse (read "processor intensive task like the Payroll") they can find to stop Self-Service logging on and not look like the bunch of incompetents they seem to be?
