my15minutessays...upvote for the crystal palace of cyberspace.
my branch's short-sighted approach to advertising, gets a downvote.
siftbotsays...Tags for this video have been changed from 'USAF, DMCA' to 'USAF, DMCA, Pentagon, Air Force, advertising, repost, recruitment' - edited by my15minutes
CaptWillardsays...Why would they want this ad pulled off YouTube? It's free advertising, isn't it? It's not a bad commercial either. Not great, but not bad. What do they have to lose?
cheesemoosays...I have no idea, that's what's so "wtf" about the whole thing for me.
jdbatessays...Could be reverse psychology, ban it, so more people look at it.
vairetubesays...Actually, what happened was... according the Air Force, anyway... is that they caught the attention of ADM Mullen, now a big shot, who wanted the Navy to be a forerunner in cyber/tech sec (for whatever reason).. and since they were pushing this "DOMINANCE OVER THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM" and Cyber-Command plans... he had them stopped.
i think officially the story is congress wants to look at the provisions of the cybercommand doctrine, and examine further what areas are in need of such control. There's news stories about them stopping the program and the recruiting for it...
...While all the while....they recruited and trained under the new specialty codes which are now suspended.... so...
what really happened was..
they got to choose from the best of the best, make a shadow force, complete their mission of cybersecurity with the exact manpower they really desired.. and are now.. in .. control. Monitoring all networks, everywhere.
WEE!!!!
ACtually, I think they got too much interest and realized this needs to be the new way to recruit for the future.. and needs to be precisely deployed and supported.
