OPSEC and some advice to survive at Milblogging

"The release of Army Regulation 530-1 has caused a rather large stir in the milblogosphere causing a great cry to go up to the powers that be. Myself? I think it’s too early to judge, the rules could use some clarification but they need to be measured between the losses and potential gains. Being a milblogger, I personally know many people who obsess about the war; they’re constantly looking for new sources of information about what is going on to the troops on the ground.

Milbloggers fill the void that is left by the military reporting and the main stream media. With the gap between the military and the civilian world widening each year, the military seems to be it’s own little country separated by an ever growing gulf. Less then one person out of a hundred in our nation is serving and there isn't much of a voice for the military in average community. Some circles look at this war as a military only war, there's a great devide between the civilian and military worlds. Milblogging could be a bridge that closes that gap."
