I know you're joking, but FWIW the name refers to the agency's location at 18&F Sts. in DC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18F https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18F

- gaius 9y ago18F is the MOS for Army intelligence if I remember correctly. That alone will have put lots of people off.
- dtparr 9y agoI wonder how many people interested in and competent at 18F's mission would be familiar enough with enlisted job codes in the Army to make that connection.
- gaius 9y agoWell, I did. It wouldn’t be that far-fetched - look at some of the work the Army Corps Of Engineers has done.
- dtparr 9y agoYeah, I'm not saying no one would, but of the cross section I mentioned, how many would make the nominal connection and find it negative enough to dissuade them from applying knowing there's no actual functional connection. Not 0, but I wouldn't say 'lots of people'.
