 A reader sent this my way a few days ago and I thought it was too funny to pass up sharing. I’ll admit when I read it I was reluctant to share it but the more I thought about it the more it became clear that we, as an organization, can and have operated in the fashion described below on an occasion or two. Now granted not all of the Continue reading…  Kind of weird to admit but I don’t have anything to say right now… well… that’s not entirely true. I indeed have a lot to say yet in my current sleepy state I dare not try to say it all. And with that I’d like to turn the tables for at least a single post and ask you to answer this question to the best of your ability: Why is, Continue reading…  The Coast Guard’s been slowly falling off the radar as a social media user where at one time they were the poster child of government using online social tools.
