Reality Web Show Created By The US Army
from the no,-this-is-not-a-joke dept
Thought you'd seen everything on the "Reality TV" front? Now the US Army is getting into the game. As part of their new ad campaign, and in an attempt to recruit youngster, they're following six recruits through basic training. All of it will be broadcast on web episodes. I want to know if they'll have "confessionals" where the recruits bitch out their commanding officers. While no one has to "vote" anyone else out of boot camp, it's a definite possibility that some of the recruits won't make it through the process. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll get cheesy sponsorship opportunities like the Survivor losers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
