Sir, I love the list, very poignant. Great website, too. Makes mine look amateurish.

LOVE this:

- You trust another staff officer to be forthcoming with information about something they, or their people did to really, really, really mess something up. Example – When the Engineer insists the hazardous material cleanup in a “wasserschutzgebeit” was “perfect” until the media found out and told you, the PAO by means of a query; you fail. (You win when the CoS nukes the Engineer for being a secretive little SOB…)

- You stop at the first “no” you receive from someone in authority about a PAO function/mission

- You believe your Chief of Staff or the IO officer knows more about Army themes and messages.

I could add a few Mike:

- You give soldier information via exclusives to commercial news outlets before your own command information venues. (thus you make your soldiers pay for public info)

- You don’t use social media cause thats “just the ‘me’ generation talking about themselves”

- One of your primary communications goals is to get in the Early Bird

- You build a Facebook and Twitter page then do nothing but put out your press releases and command information stories on them in blocks of four or five posts at a time
