Shipmates,
ADM Allen posted the 200th post on his iCommandant blog today. The Commandant launched the blog on 29SEP2009 and, at an average of a post per day, I've found the blog has greatly increased my understanding of our service and the Commandant's vision of our future. The 200th post looks back at the Coast Guard's progress in the blogosphere and lists the official and unofficial blogs ADM Allen reads. It is a great list of resources for Guardians -- covering our service, our sister services, the maritime industry, homeland security and national defense issues, and leadership. On the unofficial list I follow most of the blogs ADM Allen lists and will be checking out the few I've missed.
You'll see that #11 the Official Blogroll is the blog of a certain Flotilla in Portland, Oregon. If you've been waiting for a good reason to start contributing to our Flotilla blog now you've got one.... the boss is reading.
A big Bravo Zulu to Paul, Tara and the rest of the team at the Official D13 Blog for taking such a leadership role in social media.
Likewise to Ben and crew at AMVER who are also my favorite Twitter feed (@Amver).
Thank you also to my fellow Spirti of 76 Bloggers, Paul Ploeger and Todd Mains (of FL73).
Thank you for your service,
Daren
