Military People Wanted to Blog
Here's a message about a new initiative for military people to become...BLOGGERS!
You may have heard that CJ from A Soldier's Perspective is "retiring". Actually, he's not retiring, he's just old and balding. He's afraid that people will notice, as if showing up half sparkle-headed at the Milblog Conference helped.In reality, A Soldier's Perspective is taking a new direction. In the tradition set by No End But Victory, CJ is transforming the ASP site into a multi-soldier, multi-marine forum. Are you a soldier or marine who would like to start a blog but just don't have the time to maintain a full-time blog? Was your blog shut down by Big Brother? Why was your Big Brother deployed with you to begin with? Are you still wetting your cot? If so, this is the place to talk about it.
A Soldier's Perspective is just that, a perspective from the point of view of a soldier or marine. If you're deployed, talk about the deployment. Post about something great that happened to you while on patrol. Post something not so great about that one MRE that had you constipated for 4 days before you erupted. Post about anything you like that has to do with military topics. If you can connect the dots between the Olsen Twins, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and your military service you can post about it (mmmm....Olsen Twins!!). There is really only one rule: no profanity! ASP readers are a sophisticated bunch who fart in private, pick their nose under the protection of cotton hankie, and wash their hair more than once a week.
CJ does not make any money of the site and doesn't charge to become a member. The ads don't even pay enough to run the site. If you've got something to say and want an immediate audience of hardcare readers, contact CJ and tell him you'd like a profile to post. You can email him directly at cj@soldiersperspective.us or visit www.soldiersperspective.us and contact him through the site.
Remember, the story you don't tell is the story the media doesn't care about. And while no one knows exactly what that means, it sounds VERY good.
