Who do I get in contact with for a military PR writing gig?

$28,000/mo. retainer and I’ll make sure every incident cover story moving forward is at minimum as believable as the tooth fairy.

Add another $20k/mo. and I’ll fix their recruiting problem too.

Bizarre !!!

The 911 call has been released involving the pilot who was forced to eject from the F-35 jet that went missing.

In the 911 audio, the pilot could be heard explaining what had happened.

He explained that he was flying at 2,000 feet and was forced to eject due to “an aircraft failure.”

“We need to get rescue rolling, I’m not sure where the airplane is. It would have crash-landed. I ejected.”

“I was at 2,000 feet… An aircraft failure.”

He also asked the dispatcher if she had heard any reports of a plane crash.
