I applaud PERS 472 efforts on both their FB page, Twitter Feed, and updated/active website. The team in Millington is working hard to keep information flowing to the masses. They (both OCM and Detailers) are in routine contact with Community leadership and pass along all pertinent relevant information via emails as well. Facebook and Twitter both allow for response back from the constituency, which is great to see. I was encouraged by VADM Tighe's response to some of the Facebook feedback...
As far as the other options... I think Station HYPO is a great effort and I have volumes of respect for the folks moderating/posting. It too, allows for feedback to thought provoking posts.
I think this forum is fantastic and for over a decade, I have used it to stay abreast of Community news when I have been both in and out of the 'mainstream'. I think the issue will always be how much folks utilize these forums. We have over 700 JO's in the 1810 community... I love STALWART, COMEVIL, AKRAD (honorary JO), and SUM1... but that is a SMALL %...
