got geoint?

As most of us know, today was a special day in the GEOINT world. The U.S. intelligence community got its first female head of a major agency as intelligence veteran Letitia Long took over the helm at the National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency (NGA). And, the staff of got geoint? was able to attend the event, and we have provided a number of photos from the event (courtesy of the Department of Defense). We hope you enjoy.
