6:1 The Age of Multimedia in the Military

I can remember almost twenty years ago where taking a large camcorder anywhere was a task and developing film was another hassle.  Today, with SD cards, digital recordings, and with the availability of the internet, a person can film something, edit it on their laptop/pc and have it streaming live on the web within minutes.  So this blog, is going to be a multimedia frenzy of videos from all branches, exhibiting videos and photos from deployed locations throughout the world.  Have Fun!

Below, Navy’s VAW 113 “Sun Kings” have done a series of videos with the first being a rendition of Outkasts, “Hey Ya,” followed by the Black Eyed Peas, “Pump It,” and then lastly All American Rejects, “Move Along.”

Some funny, some not so funny.  The above videos prove the ingenuity, the talent, and yes, maybe some boredom, but shows that you don't have to wait for a news broadcast or official video of those deployed. Multimedia and military personnel have to draw a line--what is and what isn't appropriate, like in some cases above should not be taken lightly.  Immediate availability of multimedia resources doesn't give free will to post anything and everything--what happened to military censorship?  Anyways, I always enjoy a well put together, authentic, and especially if someone is credible (has first hand/is knowledgeable on the subject).
