zach braff Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) The new Air Force ad campaign is on the streets and I am a fan. Very well done IMHO. I notice the shots and overall feel are very similar to an inspiring non-official ad from a few years ago (alternating shots of then/now set to a JFK speech - can't find it right now but it's been shared here) - I wonder if that was intentional or if its creator worked on this. http://youtu.be/wHkjM-3lUDk zb edited to try to embed the video Edited September 10, 2014 by zach braff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17D_guy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It finally feels like we're not reaching to define what the AF is in our advertisement. Our heritage, while short, is well represented. I can't imagine the challenges the CSAF faces daily, and he's hammered pretty hard on JQP regularly. But I don't think we've had as good a communicator for what being an Airman is in a very long time. I'm thankful that I get to see what he's attempting to do while still in the service and hopefully help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimuth Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 What's up with the female Capt Intel Officer with a WIC patch crudely sewn on her ABU's behind Gen Welsh? Good video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17D_guy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Cyber and Intel have WIC now. I think Intel's been around for awhile now. Space has a WIC.. need I say more? Edited September 10, 2014 by 17D_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 What's up with the female Capt Intel Officer with a WIC patch crudely sewn on her ABU's behind Gen Welsh? Not crudely sewn-on. WIC instructors wear a patch similar to WIC grads, except it has the thick black border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alohacessna Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 That Intel patch is top notch. I'm guessing she got the mandatory fun assignment to stand in front of the jet and found out later she will be ridiculed indefinitely for making the commercial cut.

drewpey Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Much better than the previous. I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Edit: Nevermind. I'm preaching to the choir. Thanks air force, I hope you know what you're doing when you cut people. Great ads btw. Some of the best I've seen since the "no one comes close" ones from the early 2000s imo.

di1630 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Great commercial, should get some people to sign up thinking the USAF is about doing cool things, flying cool jets and full of cool people....I remember seeing that type of thing 10 yrs ago....now I realize the difference between propaganda and the real world. Well, back to my CBT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuggie Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm impressed. I especially liked the one where the used various President's Academy graduation speeches. I hope to see more ads like this and fewer NASCAR sponsorships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herkasaurus Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 We can't do war without reflective belts and resiliency training/wingman day...add that to this video along with the ass ton of queep of daily AF survival and it'll be an accurate portrayal.

HU&W Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Saw this new one during one of the college football games yesterday. Surprised to see an old friend and a really good dude featured in it. I don't know what's changed, but this is the first series of AF ads that I actually like.
