Best pitch I’ve gotten this week
May 13, 2008 by Steve Field
Came earlier today from OSD Public Affairs. It came from Jack Holt, the chief of their new media operations.
Who wants to talk to the guy who flew the first C130 relief flight into Burma?
Bloggers Roundtable w/Capt. Trevor Hall, USAF, the pilot-in-command of the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft to fly the first emergency relief supplies into Rangoon International Airport in Burma.

Awesome story. Timely. Brief and to the point. And finally recognizes that not all the good military stories (in fact I would say few of the good military stories) come from men and women with stars on their shoulders.
Put the people on the front lines front and center more often.
Too bad I can’t make the call. Hooah, Jack.
Yes!
1. I love blogger round-tables–Israel has used these very effetively.
2. I love nimble, agile outreach.
3. I love short.
Well done!
It was a good talk, started a little weird - the Capt just launched into questions without any intro or story. He was strangely unprepared, as if no PAO had talked to him to get the story straight - which even made the talk better. Some details at my post here.
