Day 5 of #Advent 🎄

A Chinook helicopter made a great Christmas backdrop for aircrew deployed in Mali over the festive period last year. 🌍🚁

Recently, Director GCHQ Sir Jeremy Fleming spoke to @thecipherbrief about current and future cyber threats.

He talked about the increasing number of ransomware attacks but said he was confident the UK and its allies could tackle this global challenge.

Apologies to anyone who tried to dial into the second session on the @faststreamuk. Due to technical issues we will have to reschedule the panel discussion, please let an eye out for more details once a new date has been found!

[GCHQ @GCHQ]

📆 Two years ago, we invited #BluePeter to come behind the scenes here at GCHQ!

We set their viewers the mission of designing coded posters to mark our 100th anniversary before sending winners on a puzzle-solving adventure around our HQ and offices in London.

Don’t forget - you don’t need to be a graduate to apply, it’s open to anyone regardless of age, and welcomes people from any background or location in the UK!

[Young Defence Network (YDN) @young_defence]

Thanks to our panellists for sharing their experience of the @faststreamuk. Great to see how passionate people are about their respective schemes, bust some myths, and learn more about how the application scheme works.

[Young Defence Network (YDN) @young_defence]

We’ll be putting the slides from today’s session on SharePoint later for anyone that wants to get in touch with the panellists. There’s also more detail on the different schemes available on the FS website.

A big, and belated, thank you to Eamonn who took time out of his diary to speak to us about the Integrated Review. Really fascinating to learn more about the underpinning processes and what happens when theory means reality when it comes to implementing them. #IntegratedReview

A great event with many more to come this term! Stay tuned on SharePoint and our monthly newsletter for the event recording and for news of our future events.

YDN was delighted to host @PermSecMOD on Wednesday for our first post-Summer event. We discussed David’s career to-date, his priorities going forward, and his vision for staff networks. We’re really grateful to everyone who dialled in and participated in the Q&A!

[Young Defence Network (YDN) @young_defence]

David outlined his varied career, starting as a recent graduate and most recently serving as 2PUS in DHSC during the pandemic. The conversation then turned to delivering the IR and the future of the nuclear enterprise before we wrapped up by discussing of talent schemes and D&I.

Good brief about the launch of a @DefenceHQ ‘Inclusive Language Guide’ #NationalInclusionWeek
.
Why do we need this?
For me, being complacent can exacerbate issues that could be avoided - being reminded, mindful & respectful aligns with our core values 🙌🏾

[Young Defence Network (YDN) @young_defence]

Stay tuned for our ‘In conversation with…’ event on Wednesday with @PermSecMOD at 1330-1430! Make sure to come armed with some questions!

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

What was it like working with the UK Armed Forces? Bond director Cary Joji Fukunaga talks about filming with the @RoyalNavy and @RoyalAirForce on #NoTimeToDie. 🎥

[Young Defence Network (YDN) @young_defence]

Happy National Inclusion Week to all our followers #forceforinclusion
