The Pentagon Is Building a Dream Team of Tech-Savvy Soldiers

LTC (Join to see) The Military (NSA) has always been good at Recruiting Hackers or as we called ourselves in the Day Black Box Men/Capt'n Crunchers. By 14 I'd Already "Hacked" into the Police Tactical Radio Network and Made a Jammer that Shut Down an Entire City Block.

Thank you my friend LTC (Join to see) and making us aware that "As executive director of talent strategy at the US Army Cyber Command, a relatively new branch of the Army, Nicole Camarillo’s job is to persuade top employees in Silicon Valley that they should sacrifice their stock options and six-figure salaries and apply their technological know-how in the Army instead. The idea that someone with young captain Matt’s skills was scrounging to develop tools that could mean life or death for soldiers hardly boded well for her program.
Camarillo approached Matt and offered to help. She asked him to tell her about the hurdles he encountered trying to develop technology for the Army. Matt decided to show her instead. He led Camarillo to a converted barracks where he and his team had created a makeshift workshop. In an old shower, they’d set up a battery fire, which they used to solder metal for hardware parts. Because the security restrictions on government-issued computers prevented them from coding, they’d purchased replacement parts and were building their own computers. These hacks helped them circumvent the costly, time-consuming military-acquisitions process that would have slowed their progress for months or even years.
The whole scene reminded Camarillo of the storied garages where Apple and Hewlett-Packard began, and there was a certain romance to it all. But Camarillo walked away as inspired as she was concerned. The Army already had plenty of tech talent within its ranks. What they needed was a more nurturing environment."
