The Air Force has a new recruiting commercial—one that features its combat search and rescue mission. It started airing last week in various TV markets and at select movie theaters. The first two ads in this series highlighted unmanned aircraft operations and space operations. Col. Michael Tillema, Air Force Recruiting Service Strategic Communications director and a former CSAR pilot, said of this latest commercial, “We are showcasing one of the Air Force’s unique missions; I’m sure it’ll resonate with young people of today who are looking to do something incredible with their lives and want to be part of a great championship team.” The Daily Report saw it on TV—good one.
