It’s on a NEED TO KNOW Basis!

24 Nov

Really.  Listen here or keep reading…PAO

confidentialIn fact, this is the toughest part of my job as a Public Affairs Officer managing communication for the Marine Corps.

As a PAO, I don’t “spin” the facts and I don’t “doctor” the news.  I tell the truth.  I have nothing to sell you; only to communicate facts and bad news doesn’t grow in a vineyard, nor does it get better with age.

My job as a PAO is to communicate factual information about the Marine Corps, good or bad to our constituents in a timely manner, while balancing your right to know with my need to survive.

As a Public Affairs Officer for the Marines, Danny is an innovative and forward-thinking executive, with a passion for leveraging effective communications to fuel employee-engagement, build community goodwill, and drive profits.

 

Going UP?

Going up?

As a transitioning Marine Public Affairs Officer, I’ve found little in terms of resources geared for officers.  As such, unless you’re looking for a position as a defense contractor or to continue to serve as a civil servant, there isn’t much out there to help you make that professional transition.

While maneuvering my way through this jungle, I hope to document lessons learned and add some personal insights to help following Marines, officer or enlisted, make the right transition as efficiently as possible.

I truly believe our military retirees have strong potential in the civilian sectors of our society, yet few are willing to take that small leap of faith to hire on a military executive.  I hope to change that.

Semper fidelis and I look forward to your candid feedback.
