To be fair, it's going to be hard to find someone who A) has built a career over the last 17 years in the CIA, including operations experience, and B) has never been involved in anything shady or embarrassing.

The big thing is that any other potential pick for Donnie's CIA Director is likely to be worse. It's a Devil you know/don't decision right now.

I was reading the memoir of a guy who was in like the second class of CIA trainees and according to him the organization was suuuuuuper WASPy in the early days, and everyone was just kinda trying to figure stuff out on the fly. He had one story about being sent to train some Southeast Asians (Hmong?) in guerrilla warfare, except he knew nothing about guerrilla warfare or their language. He did have a philosophy degree. (The story has a happy ending-- the whole thing was just a scam, and nobody died as a result of this dumb scheme).

Remember that the original CIA was born out of the OSS from World War II, so it wasn't like they just stood up a completely new organization with no experience. With that being said, I also completely believe what you wrote above, because it's the same way the modern US military works. Except for the nobody dying part.

Plus the OSS was a dangerous job and there are all too many examples of a very bright officer with extensive local knowledge and understanding either getting killed when their knowledge was needed most or simply being ignored by higher for political or arrogance reasons.

Any good PhD program will pay you a stipend and waive tuition. If you're being charged to do the PhD, don't do it.

The military paying for your undergrad is a good trade if you don’t have fiscal options. Selling yourself to the military for a PhD is a massive waste of talent and resources. Now on the other hand finding a DoD agency program (or contractor) willing to fund a PhD in infosec in return for you working for them as a civilian is pretty common and won’t be horrible. The Department of the Navy is funding something like 25 PhDs in my school this year, and have no affiliation with a reserve or commissioning program nor any service agreement

I recommend "Legacy of Ashes" to anyone who hasn't read it. Highlights include the CIA continuing to try poo poo that didn't work in WW2 and has never worked because guys like the Dulles brothers are idiots. Well connected idiots, but still dangerously stupid. Things like para dropping trained up ex-pat agitators recruited from refugee camps. Which always results in them getting caught or dying after insertion because someone at the camp they're recruiting from tips off the commies. Its full of many such wonderful examples of weapons grade stupid and crazy.

Immanentized posted:I need a resource, I'm thinking of exploring whether or not a reserve officer program would pay for a Info Assurance PhD. Who can talk me out of it? Look for a program called "Scholarship for Service". There's maybe 100 universities in the US that participate, but if you're accepted you get full tuition coverage, $34K a year stipend, $4k a year reimbursed for professional development expenses (like going to conferences), and $2k a year health insurance reimbursement. It will fund up to three years and when done you're expected to spend an equal amount of time working a civilian cybersecurity or information assurance position in the federal, state, local, or tribal governments, or go work for one of the national labs. I just got my MS through the program and it's been a great experience.

https://twitter.com/bungdan/status/993497653085274113 This is such a bizarre story. quote:A UAE government website proclaims that “His Excellency Major General Staff Pilot Stephen A. Toumajan” is “Commander” of the UAE’s Joint Aviation Command, which, according to experts on the UAE’s military, operates most of the nation’s combat helicopters. The website says he is responsible for training, combat readiness, and “execution of all aviation missions.”

Current Event on the ground: I'm at an ISC2 (they issue the CISSP) event outside of DC this week. There is a fabulous wealth of knowledge and experience here, but people can't loving follow Q&A sessions due to the exhaustive reliance of federal employees on useless loving acronyms and weird rear end dependencies that don't exist anywhere else. No wonder IT and Infosecurity is a mess, people can't talk to each other between industries without relearning industry terms. Emerging threat: Machine learning and AI driven exploits and zero day vulnerabilities. Oh fun, and ransomware is now gonna use locked computers to mine crytpocurrencies while it has possession of your system. Sort of a hijacking/timed release sort of situation.

No loving poo poo. Sure bitcoins were good to make a buck if you bought in early and then sold it at the peak. But, if you actually believed bitcoins are relevant beyond their value as a commodity to make crafty bastards rich on idiots money and financing the majority of shady bullshit like international human trafficking and large drug sales, I don't know what to say.
