During the Milblogging Conference this year we had the privilege to hear from Secretary of the Army Pete Geren (who reads A Soldier’s Perspective, by the way) and General Caldwell. Unfortunately, the recording didn’t turn out too well and the audio on isn’t all that great. This is the best we could pull out.
The Departments of the Army and Defense have really come around to embracing the military blogging community. We are frequently given access to some very high ranking individuals about a variety of topics related to the military. Troy has one such roundtable up right now from an interview with Col Bill Hix, who is the new ARSIC-South Commander in Afghanistan. So, it was an honor to have two very high profile guys within the military ranks to “appear” during our conference. Mr. Geren was supposed to be there in person, but had a last minute change to his itinerary which forced his phone in appearance.
Again, I apologize for the audio quality. We had some unanticipated changes this year that we weren’t quite prepared for. Maybe next time, we’ll have the funds for wireless microphones that will allow for more flexibility. Enjoy the video.
