Maj Pain talks about his Milblog: One Marine’s View.

Question: What are three things your readers probably do not know about you?

1. I use to ride bulls (short career).
2. I like Elvis music.
3. Im a board member of http://www.anysoldier.com/.

Question: How long have you been blogging and why did you get into blogging?

I began blogging before there blogs really. On http://www.anysoldier.com/ we left daily sitreps on the site when we could while in Afghanistan and then when I went to Iraq several people began telling me to start my blog. One of them was Matt at Black Five.

Question: What is your military experience?

I was enlisted in 1993 then applied for an officer program. Becoming a grunt I traveled all over to include Okinawa, Korea before deploying to OIF & OEF.

Question: What are some of your other favorite Milblogs?

All of the “ring” sites are good because they are countering the “media” by getting the good word out to America.

Question: What has been the biggest factor in helping you create and publish a successful blog?

The biggest factor was that I was sick and tired of the communist News Network (CNN) pushing out bad news about things we were conducting in theater. That alone drove me to post. Then we started getting ambushed a lot (especially when I went to get into the shower).

Question: Do you have anything else you would like us to mention about you, your blog, or your readers?

The biggest thing is don’t for one second forget that young Marine, Soldier, Sailor or Airman out on the pointy end of the pear kicking butt! They need you and we need them. Stop by, have a cigar and tell me what’s on your mind! Semper Fi-Maj Pain!
