DefCON-1 Your Defense, Aerospace & Health IT Industry Career Opportunities & News Network

A military working dog climbs through a white tunnel on a turf field as an airman’s leg is seen to the left against a blurred background.

Meet military working dog Rex. He is an explosive detection dog assigned to the 75th Security Squadron. Here he is navigating an obstacle during training at Hill Air Force Base, Utah about a week ago. Rex is basically at “rookie training camp”, the newest “draft pick” K-9 to try out for the team. He is being assessed and evaluated to see if he is fully mission-ready and makes the cut…

Very interesting… 

Did you know that…the United States military loves slapping an acronym on anything that moves. Actually, things that don’t move are equally likely to be described with a jumble of letters when words would do the trick just fine.

Sometimes it’s obvious that the acronym-izer should’ve put more thought into the process, and we get some unintentionally hilarious descriptors.

1. PMS Perfect Military Skills Every Professor of Military Science is used to the giggles because every new set of students is equally immature.

2. MANPADS While we’re on the subject of bodily functions, anyone who’s carrying a Man-Portable Air-Defense System better be ready for a few comments about whether they might need a diaper.

3. MANCOCK A male chicken is usually called a rooster but it’s also known as a cock. Students at the Army’s Maneuver Advanced NCO Course must’ve gotten mighty tired of questions about their MANCOC. Perhaps that’s why it’s now called the Senior Leader Course.

4. DICC Richard Cheney is known as Dick to his friends. But those guys likely were not nearly as tired as the intelligence officers answering questions about their Defense Intelligence Collection Cell.

5. DISCO John Travolta is king of the disco in “Saturday Night Fever.” (Paramount) Spending an evening processing requests down at the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office isn’t nearly as glamorous as the acronym might suggest.

6. MAGIC CARPET Aladdin and Princess Jasmine take a magic carpet ride. (Disney) OK, maybe the acronym for Maritime Augmented Guidance with Integrated Controls for Carrier Approach and Recovery Precision Enabling Technologies wasn’t unintentional. Someone put a lot of effort into making that one work.

7. DRBOB One Dr. Bob is a noted folk artist. The other co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous. The future of commissaries and exchanges may be in the hands of the Defense Resale Business Optimization Board, but how many New Orleans folk art fans think of the famed painter behind the city’s “Be Nice or Leave” signs? What about the AA members who know Dr. Bob as Bill W.’s cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous?

8. FARP Rick and Morty should be your preferred source for fart humor. (Adult Swim) Everyone at the Forward Area Refueling Point is tired of your fart jokes.

9. FAP We can’t really go there. The Fleet Assistance Program, aside from assigning Marines to extra duties outside the normal chain of command, raises an entire set of issues that we can’t really discuss here.

10. BLT Who wouldn’t enjoy a delicious Battalion Landing Team?

BONUS: AOC For years, the Army Operating Concept was just a military plan for the future. Now, the acronym causes convulsions in a large portion of our news-watching population. Handle with care. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

 

 

Thinking about AI…Here are four interviews conducted with brand experts at the recent Federal Government AI Summit (GovAI): Adobe, Abt Global, Zoom, and Avaya, and they discuss the state of federal, state and local adoption of AI technologies with Geoff Livingston. Conversations include the adoption of image, video, and text generative AI, ethical AI to serve citizens, taxpayers and other consumers of digital government services, how improved generative AI is continuing to improve video meeting experiences, and state and local AI adoption.
