A few comments. EA has not been good at bringing in career veterans. So I would focus more on early or mid-career officers. I would love for you to find a niche where you could bring in Generals, but that’s a stretch culturally at this point.
The reason it is so hard to find a job in EA is that EA hasn’t expanded as much as its promise would seem. It should be rapidly expanding and creating plenty of jobs for all the new and excited joiners. The reality is they join with excitement then hit the wall of how hard it is to get a job or funding. The smallness of EA is causing this problem. Bear this in mind, you’ll be giving newcomers a pep talk right before they run off to hit the wall. Pray for reform, more openness, less applications and just throw open the gates and let everyone in (ie. the reality of how movements work).
Higher officers might be better as founders, consider that model and make funding connections.
Good luck and love the last sentence about the spelling of defence. GSTQ. (Although I don’t actually hold to that since I’m American).
