I was perusing one of the discussions and reading comments. I noticed what looked like a fishing spam type of comment as a reply to an individual. The comment was coming from someone who is a General officer. I will not call them out in the off chance I could be wrong. However, looking at said persons profile stuff does not make sense. First the person in real life is a retired Maj Gen. The rank listed in their profile is full O-10 General of the 4 Star variety. The person is using a common picture that is available on Google Images. Lastly the said person has their military occupation listed as Pilot. According to the GO's official bio the occupation was space systems and acquisitions.

All of these things are sort of setting off alarm bells that there maybe an attempt to fish for info. It seems uncharacteristic for someone, especially a GO to solicit a job prospect in the private industry to someone in a public forum in an unrelated post. Then all of the other stuff does not make sense either.

This sounds like it would interest the CEO LTC Yinon Weiss. He probably has a preferred POC for it.

Ok test I see that one. Thanks.

As for ducks in row. All I can do is report my observations on what seems off in the profile based off official biography as well as the odd recruitment solicitation.
