Media:

Due to the sensitivity and the classified nature of military cyber work, the pictures shown below are either public domain, have been properly publicly published elsewhere before, or are authorized press release pictures from various official sources for the purpose of informing the public (in various locations). While these show ‘stuff’ relevant to my work, for this job do not expect any revealing media surprises here: ;-)
