Why would they need or want a “recruitment” video? Unless, that isn’t what this is.

It could be a recruitment video based on what I found at http://goarmysof.com/PsyOp/PsyOprecruiting.html

[DLAB = Defense Language Aptitude Battery of Tests, a difficult but creative four-hour ordeal (at least in 1978) designed to identify candidates with language ability. It didn't do a very good job, based on the number of students I knew who passed it and then ended up dropping out of Russian class in the early weeks to get trained instead in unrelated jobs. And that Basic Russian course was a full-time job for nine months, not the 5.5 months mentioned here. Then Intermediate Russian was more months. How the heck do they do it in 5.5?]
