You know your dealing with DOD documents when they need to write info like that in. It's the pages where all the smiley faces and gold stars go. I hope they didn't download a program to put the smiley faces in the document or emails!

It's up on the Air Force's official site. I would go after the source.

Please remove this:

If a device is being synched and its software is out-of-date, a “Force Load” message will appear. The user will only have one opportunity to decline updating the software. Any subsequent syncing attempts will render the device inoperative until the software is updated.

It reads like they are getting a update to BES which will provide more security.

Frankly I'm shocked some of these were not already set as I have them enabled.
