For those of you who work in large organizations struggling with social media, please share this with your bosses.

Both the ebook and the video show how Airmen are using social media to stay informed and inform others. Airmen have the ability to communicate and tell the Air Force story better than anyone else. By reaching out with social media tools, they’re able to it quickly and in their own voice.

As Colonel Michael G. Caldwell, acting director of public affairs for the United States Air Force told me: “We want 330,000 people to be in Public Affairs.”
