1
00:00:01,260 --> 00:00:03,350
The Department of Defense needs new ideas.

2
00:00:03,350 --> 00:00:07,700
There's a reason why if you're a DARPA PM,
you're term-limited.

3
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:10,860
You can only be there for four to five years.

4
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:13,630
And the reason they do that is they want to
be innovative.

5
00:00:13,630 --> 00:00:17,330
And they want to bring new ideas and new people
in all the time.

6
00:00:17,330 --> 00:00:24,090
Another one, and this is my perception, is
that if you come to DOD, you'll have a larger

7
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:30,430
responsibility upfront than you would at a
commercial company.

8
00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:32,320
I've worked in the commercial arena.

9
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:39,879
And my impression is that DOD elevates you
to a level of responsibility that it takes

10
00:00:39,879 --> 00:00:41,769
a much longer time to get to an industry in.
