Defense Information School Commandant Col. Richard McNorton presents a certificate to Warren Field Aug. 8, 2024, during an evening party on Fort Meade, Maryland, celebrating the school's 60th anniversary. Field, 86 from Phoenix, Arizona, attended DINFOS as a student in 1964, the first year of the school's existence. Warren said, "I was four weeks into an eight week course" when he received orders to immediately deploy to Vietnam with the U.S. Army. McNorton surprised Field with the "graduation diploma," officially declaring him "a DINFOS-trained killer," a nickname for DINFOS graduates who apply their communication and journalism skills in support of the military. The Defense Information School celebrated its 60-year anniversary Aug. 7-8 at its campus on Fort Meade, Maryland. The school proudly welcomed its newest members into the Hall of Fame Aug. 7. DINFOS hosted an Alumni Training Day Aug. 8, inviting all Department of Defense public affairs and visual information professionals to return "back to school" for a day of modernizing their PA and VI skillsets. The training sessions covered topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Information Advantage, Countering Misinformation and Disinformation, Graphic Design, Podcasting, and Storytelling Trends. The celebrations concluded the evening of Aug. 8 with the DINFOS Diamond Jubilee. Attendees enjoyed live music, special guests, and the camaraderie of DINFOS family and friends.
