It's a standard recruitment ad.
The Navy does it with SEALs, the Army does with with SF/Rangers. The CIA doesn't actually need Black Ops Tier One operators, they can go through JSOC and whoever else in the service with the right experience. Those ads are meant to appeal to the guys who are juuuuuust adventurous enough to apply for the program, but aren't qualified. During the application process, those dudes get shuffled ever so easily to a desk job or other branch, filling seats. If it wasn't for the SEALs, there'd be no one filling all those unsexy Navy slots. If it wasn't for the Rangers, there'd be a lot less young hotshots swarming towards Bragg and Benning. The CIA is probably gonna pull a couple hundred applicants that can work on super secret administrative processes in Langley. After all, the ratio in the CIA of ninja assassins to paper pushers is about... 10,000 to 1. Let's be honest. |

What is the CIA's "Mission Statement" and what excatly is "Our Nations Interests"?
Politicians are importing potential terrorists by the thousands, the FBI is failing time and time again to track and investigate terrorists. The former Secretary of State failed to safeguard this nations secrets as well as CIA secrets. Perhaps the CIA needs to turn some attention to the real threat against this nation which is US politicians. |

A friend from my old unit is currently in their hiring process. I just did his reference interview a few weeks ago. It's pretty serious when I felt like I needed my lawyer during an interview for another guy
He speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese. He's got the Ranger and Sapper tabs. He deployed with 7th Group, 10th Mountain and 173rd. He's B4 qualified. And he's got a BS in Botany or Horticulture, IIRC
When he asked if he could list me as a reference he told me that he didn't think he was qualified for the position but applied anyway. My assumption is that the CIA uses SAD as a recruitment tool to put asses in office jobs after they wash out of cool guy school, just like how RASP is a farm-team for the 82nd. I'm sure they only take a very select few of the true carnivores for the sexy jobs. |

It's probably because they can't recruit directly like they used to - too many bridges burned and not enough people want to work for them.
They now have to aggressively go out to recruit people, and that includes advertising. |
