Army,

Great score,

I see you are a veteran, not sure if you already got a certification as a veteran owned business with the state of WI. If not you may want to check into it. I cannot remember what exactly they went over with us at the military separation briefs on the topic, however getting special preference on state bids, contracts, and the like seem to ring a bell.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info on veteran owned businesses. I had no idea, and I will check into it for sure.

I consulted a lawyer on this and while it is alot of paperwork just for 50-70 cents a drive it covers my butt and theirs and everyone is happy. They will know I'm coming a day or two in advance and I always forward preperation instructions for sensitive items (HDDs, solid state drives, EPROMS and memory cards/sticks NOT RAM).

Are you saying that EPROMs have to be destroyed too? Or that they have to be erased? Is this a requirement for processing government IT assets?
