Watch this YouTuber take on the DoD Cyber Awareness Challenge

All members of the Department of Defense, including troops, must undertake an annual training to test their knowledge of cyber awareness. A few years back, they changed the test up just slightly to make it far less of a bore and more like a crappy 90s text-based video game.

Everyone freaking hates this training and, if it weren't mandated at the Pentagon level, no one would willingly subject themselves to it. That is, of course, with the exception of YouTube's biggest star, PewDiePie.

He had only the trophies and Jeff to keep him company.

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, known by most as "PewDiePie," grew in popularity through his video-game related content — particularly his "Let's Play" format, through which fans could watch him play games as he delivered hilarious commentary.

His videos have actually created success for many smaller, indie games, particularly in the horror genre. He'd showcase otherwise-ignored games, give them a glowing review or overreact to intense moments, and his rabid fans would immediately buy said game, propelling it into the spotlight. He has since become the biggest YouTuber, currently sitting at 65 million subscribers.

Recently, he finally took on the dreaded Cyber Awareness Challenge — with commentary provided throughout, of course. Being the avid gamer that he is, the 'Challenge' proved trivial, but he actually took it far more seriously than anyone in the military does.

Unlike the god-awful test of old, the modern training awards "trophies" for getting everything correct, so PewDiePie gave it his all.

That's literally the exact same answer that everyone gives for that question. The dude stole a phone in the Pentagon... You better go grab that phone!

As he slogged through, he coincidentally ripped the exact same moments of the training that troops mock relentlessly. The training wastes no time in offering pieces of painfully obvious guidelines. For example, the very first tip the government puts out there in promotingcyber awareness is "don't look at pornography at work."

He also ran into many of the overly stupid characters that populate the training, like Tina, the coworker that constantly tries to get you to download stuff, and Jeff, the IT manager that tells you just how proud of our work he is in the most monotone fashion possible — but for some odd reason only has a box of tissues on his desk?

Pewds, who never served in the U.S. military, was ill-prepared for many of the minute details — like taking your CAC/PIV out of the computer whenever you walk away — but actually did very well. He did, however, fallfor some of the traps that seem to violate common sense.At one point in the training, your phone is stolen and you're given the opportunity to chase down the thief, and so he did. But the correct answer is to"alert the security POC."

BZ, PewDiePie. You managed to sit through the same crap all troops do without clawing out your eyes. BZ.

PewDiePie passed the DoD Cyber Awareness Challenge with flying colors and was given the Certificate of Completion that every member of the Department of Defense needs to turn in.

He says he'll print it, which is exactly what you're supposed to do. Instead of turning it in to his S-6 to reinstate his government computer permissions, I'm sure he'll hang it on his wall or something.
