E-mail addresses

[beatrice_otter]

What do military e-mail addresses look like?  What would an SGC e-mail address look like?  Pentagon e-mail addresses?  Would a civilian SGC employee's work e-mail address be different than a military SGC employee's work e-mail address?  (In other words, in seasons 9-10, what would Vala, Jack, Daniel, Sam, Teal'c, Cameron, and possibly Landry have for e-mail addresses?)

Some information here. Everyone would get an email. The general domain is af.mil, but every base had its own subdomain, f'rex, @lackland.af.mil (or, I guess, @cheyenne.af.mil). Newly-issued email these days is simply @us.af.mil, but it's a slow process and the old emails are grandfathered. Usernames are firstname.lastname or sometimes firstname.lastname2,

It might make sense to have daniel.jackson@cheyenne.af.mil, but cameron.mitchell@us.af.mil, I think?

This kind of stuff is too fun to figure out sometimes. :)

(ETA: This is all Air Force--the Marines, etc. have their own email system)

Dad's when he was active-duty was firstname.lastname2@base.af.mil, the 2 because there was already a Firstname Lastname with an email associated with that base. So I'm gonna go with samantha.carter@cheyenne.af.mil. Unless it's sgc.af.mil. Don't know how Pentagon addresses differ, but my money's on pentagon.af.mil.

I believe the Pentagon email addresses are first.last @ dod.mil "The Pentagon" is the common name for the building that houses the Department of Defense (DoD).

Since the SGC is classified, everything is routed through Peterson AFB. Carter's would be samantha.carter@peterson.af.mil You can follow that convention for everyone at Cheyenne since they've been there well over a decade or you could go with @norad.af.mil as Cheyenne is the name of the whole complex not the name of the base.

The most logical email address would be first.last@NORAD.af.mil (and in Teal'c's case, just first) as it would jibe with their theoretical cover story. The shift to af.mil has begun only in recent years, but in the time period you are referring to email addresses would have been tied to the actual base.

btw, Peterson AFB is about 30 minutes across town from the approximate location of Cheyenne Mountain Air Station and the Air Force Academy is about 30 minutes north. Fort Carson, on the other hand, is about 10 minutes away. I always wondered why medical emergencies (like off world refugees) were not routed to the nearby Army base instead of the Academy :)
