This is just as far as the DoD, but the biggest impact that I've seen so far is that civilian federal employees, of which just in the DoD there are more than 700,000, are no longer employed until the budget is passed. The implications of that take on all shapes and sizes of administrative fuckery, but military still come to work without pay in the meantime and will receive back-pay later on. The budget will eventually get passed but in the meantime, systems that rely on a slice of the federal budget just don't get receive their slice until Congress gets their shit in order.
