So the Air Force, which prides themselves for being the most technical branch of all the armed forces, has decided to suspend its efforts on building their latest Cyber Command. Not sure if any of you recall the latest AF recruitment commercials geared around cyber security, but it would be safe to say that those will not be airing until the Air Force works out some kinks.
“The Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Air Force have considered delaying currently planned actions on Air Force Cyber Command to allow ample time for a comprehensive assessment of all AFCYBER requirements and to synchronize the AFCYBER mission with other key Air Force initiatives,” the service said in a statement released Thursday.
Makes you wonder why ample time wasn’t dedicated in the first place for a “comprehensive assessment.”
I could spend hours talking about how much of a good time Chris Mills and I had at DC16 or I figured you all could just tune in for EP8 which we’ll be recording tonight. There are a lot of people we need to thank for their hospitality as well as the free beer! We made all kinds of new friends and it was great finally being able to put names to faces. While you’re waiting for the live show tonight, follow the links below for some pics of the Podcasters Meetup as well as the live show recorded live from DC16!
