My friend Josh and I are developing a class for the course I teach. It’s an evolving concept that the military is attempting to catch on to. The class will focus on how to use the web effectively to further the mission of military public affairs focusing a lot on the concept of Web 2.0. The military is way behind on the whole social media thing and wary of embracing things like blogs and YouTube. The class is meant to create discussion and stimulate ideas. The official military posture on this media is evolving. Senior leaders have started coming out and saying we need to embrace things like Facebook.

Anyways, my buddy gives a good pitch on the subject and after hearing him talk about it yesterday to my students I was inspired to embrace it on my own. I’ve often written “blogs” which I sent out to family and friends. I started them while I was in Afghanistan, sending them off when I went on a unique mission or had some little adventure. I’ve continued to send them off when I travel – an example being our Peru trip below. But I’ve decided to open it up to the world.

How far it goes … I don’t care. If this just ends up being a platform for me to unload a little, fine. But here it is, Adrian 2.0
