GunnNutt of Semper Gratus
GunnNutt talks about MilBlogging on Semper Gratus.
Question: What are three things your readers probably do not know about you?
1. I hate to write.
2. I have a hard time responding to requests like this.
3. Why’d you pick me?
Question: How long have you been blogging and why did you get into blogging?
I started with the Blogger.com site (gunnnutt.blogspot.com) in June 05 after reading FrankJ (imao.com) for quite a while. I just KNEW I was waaay funnier than him, then I started to blog and found out how oh-so-wrong I was. Damn you, FrankJ!!!!
Question: What is your military experience?
You mean, besides having a brother that got out of the Marine reserves about 30 years ago, and having a gerberhead for a step-nephew? Absolutely nothing! I just think we have the best, the brightest, and the most badass military the world will ever see and I owe more to all the men and women in uniform than could ever be repaid.
I genuinely covet the time I can spend with our awesome wounded warriors at Walter Reed, and more infrequently at Bethesda Naval. I don’t blog about that, though, so I guess it doesn’t count. Ah well…
Question: What are some of your other favorite Milblogs?
One Marine’s View, the SandGram, Soldier’s Angels Germany (MaryAnn), A Soldier’s Perspective, Tanker Brothers both of whom are deployed at this time, and Truth, Life, and Political Honesty (though Mark’s now moved on to The Conservative Manifesto). Oh, and Trevor of the Will to Exist.
Question: What has been the biggest factor in helping you create and publish a successful blog?
When it becomes a success, I’ll let you know (hahahahahaha!) *sniff*
OK, I don’t really know… some people email their posts to everyone in the known world, others, like me, just kinda sit there. For some reason, a few people keep coming around and I’m very, very grateful to have them. I’ve made some really good friends from blogging.
Question: Do you have anything else you would like us to mention about you, your blog, or your readers?
Keep reading milblogs everybody! Like Major Pain says “There’s no such thing as a fair fight and its OK to go big and ugly early!”
