Psychological Operations

Army ROTC: Psychological Operations Officer exist?

does that job still exist. It’s not on their career page, but i stumbled upon it on their rotc website just
recently. I guess they forgot to delete the html page for it. Does this job still exist after army rotc?

See, its here:

http://www.goarmy.com/RotcViewJob.do?id=309

But it’s not on the main page:

http://www.goarmy.com/RotcViewCareers.do

It still exists, but its not a job you can commision into.

You become Special Forces, PSYOPS, or Civil Affairs as a captain. You start off in a regular branch and then apply to transfer over after you company command. SF has their own proceedure, but for CA, PSYOPS and all functional areas, you apply for as a captain and transfer over after company command.

The one exception with CA and PSYOPS are with the Reserves since you commission into a specific unit like the National Guard does.

Psychological Operations Specialist (37F) weapons?

What weapons do PSYOP specialists normally carry?

Yeah, an M4 and an M9. You will be trained with those weapons as well as Soviet Bloc weapons like the AK47, RPK, RPG and also the German SIG 228 or 226 & HK USP .45 handguns, as well as the MP5 submachine gun. You’ll have a thing called a manpack which is a grunt-mounted speaker-in-a-ruck type deal. You’ll have loudspeakers on a Humvee, and a Humvee with abilties to overtake TV station and radio broadcasts from the enemy and replace them with our product. You’ll have a mobile printing press. You’l have Commando Solo in the air, a modified C47 product (propaganda) delivery system. You’ll have your mind, most importantly. I can’t remember for the life of me the acronym for the production center at Bragg, but you’ll have them disseminating product through broadcasts over satellite and radio waves. The officer that posted before me is right, though, you won’t be leading any infantry assaults or anything. You will have the firepower because you’re a small force, often in dangerous areas or at risk of ambush. I thought they were doing away with PSYOP and Civil Affairs AIT. Have you already signed for that MOS?

Some details on MOS 37F (Psychological Operations Specialist)?

I would just ask my recruiter but it’s the holidays so it is hard to get a hold of him.
1. Where is the language training?
2. Can you choose which part of PSYOPS you may enter (tactical, strategic, media disseminating, etc.)

The military trains their linguists are the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. In order to get into this program, you must take the DLAB (Defense Language Aptitude Battery) and obtain a score of 100 or higher. Your score will determine which languages you are would have the aptitude to learn..
I took the DLAB and totally bombed it. It is truly one of the most difficult tests I have ever taken, and as a result chose another MOS.

Can someone please tell me how long AIT is for Army Reserve?

The training is for Psychological Operations in Ft. Bragg N. Carolina.
Anyone have any idea how long the AIT is for?

Thanks.

12 Weeks if I found the right page.

E-commerce Website Design Guide for Small Business Owners

Almost each offline business can start online sales. There are many ways to do it through large special web sites, or shopping and trade leads portals where ads and listings can be posted, however one of the most popular and effective ways is to have own e-commerce web site. It also can be called e-shop, online shop, online store, shopping cart site, etc.

When a small business owners starts thinking of having his own e-commerce web site he starts looking for reliable, handful and affordable e-commerce solution. What features he may need to run the e-commerce business successfully?

The golden rule of every business – no matter online or offline – is to decide BEFORE its running how people will know about it and how, why, and when they will buy exactly here. So marketing and advertising also work here but have some specific and used web promotion and SEO tactics. At the very beginning of its life each e-commerce web site can be compared to an unknown shop in a desolate place and it’s a hard work to make it popular e-commerce resource where people want and like to buy. There are many companies that offer web promotion services so it’s always possible to find one which will be the happy medium in aspect of professionalism and affordable cost.

When this part is clear it’s time to think about technical side of e-commerce business.
There are 2 main features it must have.

· Shopping cart system that allows buying products. It must have user-friendly interface, be reliable, compatible with major payment and shipping systems. There are many providers, developers, or resellers of shopping carts so they can be free, free-ware and paid.

· Online catalogue of products that can be divided into categories. The catalogue must have administration ability, so site owner can edit each product’s title, price, description, image, position in the catalogue.

Also it’s great to have ability of managing pricing policy – create “hot prices”, specials offers, discounts, etc. A great plus is to have all stats for the e-commerce website active operations, i.e. info about the customers, orders, payments, etc. and ability to manage it.

Also the site may contain simple information pages such as Contact us, About us, History, Team, etc. and if the site owner is not a web designer he will need a Content management system (CMS) integrated into the pages to be able to edit and update their content without hiring a webmaster or paying his web design company for each small change.

All the viewed above was about the technical side of the e-commerce website, however interface design also plays great role as it creates appropriate mood for site visitors that helps to turn them into customers and buyers. That’s why e-commerce site design must be made by professionals, who take into consideration many important design, marketing, and psychological aspects, and able to create a great selling solution.

Successfully selected domain name is also a plus for e-commerce web site as it not only brings visual information to the site visitors and must be easy to remember and type, but also plays great role in search engines rankings. So before buying a domain name for e-commerce web site it’s recommended to make some research on this topic or ask advice of professionals.

And finally, the professionally made e-commerce website must be easily and quickly accessible from each place of the world so it’s very important to choose a reliable hosting provider which can guarantee stable work of the web site 24x7x365 at affordable price.

These are main features an average e-commerce web site must have. Of course there are many specific details that are unique for each web site however having the above-mentioned things can give some warranties that the e-commerce website will do its main job – sell.

Where are the Army National Guard Psychological Operations Units located?

Looking for the location of any of the Army National Guard Psychological Operations Units are located.

I may be wrong about this, but I THINK that all PsyOps units are in the Army Reserve. I think PsyOps and Civil Affairs are the two things the Reserves have that the Guard doesn’t. It’s a fair trade. I’d rather have combat arms, SF, etc anyway. Again, could be wrong.

USASOC | Jumpmaster Training Video | Actions in the Aircraft

I filmed this video to help out the new jumpmasters locate and identify the 1 minute check point the 30 second check point & Stand Bye time warnings on St Mere DZ. In the video you can see one of our recent Jumpmasters students Graduates. I’m showing him the ropes with Actions in the Aircraft. We really do this to get them more comfortable with the aircraft. When they graduate from Jumpmaster School they have only one JM in each aircraft once, this helps give them a warm and fuzzy feeling in this aircraft.

On our 1st pass you will see me throw a streamer to verify the panels. On the 2nd pass I sent out 3 wind dummies to reassure the streamer strike. On the 3rd Pass I’m sending out the VIP’s. We do these extra passes to ensure the VIP’s land on the Drop Zone. I edited the video down for time; it’s usually 7 minutes from takeoff to touchdown.

With me are Soldiers from United States Army Special Operations Command performing a Jump over St Mere Eglise Drop Zone. USASOC is home to the elite fighting forces who conduct operations across the full spectrum of warfare, including unconventional warfare, counter-proliferation, direct action, psychological operations, special reconnaissance, civil affairs, foreign internal defense and information operations.

USASOC | Special Operations Jumpmaster Course | PWAC Final Grade

This is a video of the last two students of the USASOC Jumpmaster course 01-11. They have worked a grueling 4 weeks to be a “Special Operations Jumpmaster”. This is the final grade needed to graduate the course and be eligible for the coveted Jumpmasters Badge. They both received a GO.

As we were doing short; fast race tracks I identified the 1 minute check point. They did the rest; the 30 second check point & Stand Bye time warnings on St Mere DZ. The students do not put out jumpers because they are not actual jumpmasters yet. I edited the video down for time; it’s usually 35 minutes from takeoff to touchdown.

The Heavens Gate Conspiracy

The heaven’s gates members were killed by state troopers. The propaganda to cover up the mass murder was that these people committed suicide by drinking poison. The government shot poison gas into the heaven’s gate compound. The proof of this is that the compound was burn down by the government afterwards. The heaven’s gate members did not believe in drinking alcohol. The FBI claimed they drank vodka with poison in it. The heaven’s gate members did not even believe in wearing shoes in their home. But the FBI video show them not only in their home with their shoes on but in bed with her shoes on. The heaven’s gate members did not believe in cremation. However, every heaven’s gate member was cremated. Every mafia member wants to be a FBI agent. Why people seem to believe every policeman or FBI agent’s is a saint, I don’t know. The FBI uses psychological operations to manipulate in control society. Part of them that manipulation is to make certain groups of people up here totally insane by claiming they are trying to catch a ride on a comet. However, the only ones who are totally insane enough to believe that story are politicians and police officers. The rest of society doesn’t believe a word of the official story. But society has no choice. They either pretend to believe the story or risk the FBI shunting poison gas into their home’s.
