Gotcha, I also work with DoD for Navy systems and was surprised by that. So you mean if we don't want to pay RHEL licensing fees, we can use Centos? Since we are paying about $100 per RHEL license.
I would recommend RHEL for critical systems or those that must be certified for a particular purpose, such as CA servers. We've been using CentOS for years now on our internal networks for software development, local site mail service (SMTP/POP/IMAP), file services (FTP/NFS/SMB/CIFS), DNS, local web servers, etc. It works very well for this, especially for software development where multiple people can get a GUI login through Stunnel->VNC->GDM and/or shell through ssh.
We're also using CentOS for software maintenance of RHEL hosts on our aircraft simulators. Many of our software developers prefer a CentOS workstation because of its versatility. On those we install MS Windoze as a KVM guest for those applications that require it. My internal workstation is setup this way for use network/systems admin and analysis, software development, as well as normal office tasks.

I thought DoD used RHEL and not Centos, or did Centos did approved DADEMS recently?
DADMS is a Navy system, but yes Centos is approved for use by DISA. You would STIG it just like RHEL.
