SC of Recruiting Tirade
SC talks about his MilBlog Recruiting Tirade.
Question: What are three things your readers probably do not know about you?
This is hard.
- I am really not a people person at all, which is odd being that I’m a recruiter.
- I hate basketball.
- The Army was my first job.
Question: How long have you been blogging and why did you get into blogging?
I am coming up on my 1 year mark. I got into blogging when I read an article about recruiter bloggers in the Army Times. I lurked for quite a while before I finally started one myself. It was mostly due to SFC B’s blog that I got into it. I guess you could call him my “blogfather” (kiss the ring). Being that his inspiration was Jack Army I guess that makes Jack my “bloggrandfather.”
Question: What is your military experience?
I have been in the Army for twelve years.
Question: What are some of your other favorite Milblogs?
My blogroll has gotten too big for me to be able to check all of them but my daily reads are SFC B, Jack Army , Guardsman, Hub, Urbangrounds, Blackfive, and Army Lawyer.
Question: What has been the biggest factor in helping you create and publish a successful blog?
Question: Successful?!? That’s funny. I’m far from successful. I have my loyal base of readers and every once in a while (read twice) I’ll get linked from one of the big guys but that’s about it. What limited success I have I would attribute to the fact that I very rarely write something and immediately post it. I usually sit on it anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks before posting it. Right now I have about 12 posts just sitting around waiting to be finished. Usually this helps but a lot of times it backfires especially when I try to right about current events.
Question: Do you have anything else you would like us to mention about you, your blog, or your readers?
I have experienced an immense amount of satisfaction by knowing that people actually read what I write. It boggles my mind that people read me. Oh yeah… recruiting is hard.
