US Navy starts its official blog
The US Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, inaugurated the US Navy’s official blog recently : Navy Live
The effort seems refreshing in the military blogosphere more so in the light of the free and frank discussion between various participants including the Secretary. An example can be seen by clicking here.
The blog seems in line with the thought process of militaries of (mostly) democracies in shedding the cloak (or more appropriately the burden) of secrecy, especially on societal and administrative issues. Such a medium is also sometimes essential keeping in view the fact that sometimes the pulse of service-members does not reach the right levels of the hierarchy due to layers and layers of officialdom and red-tape.
The US Navy is available officially also on twitter, flickr, youtube and facebook.
Way to go.
