The Army’s “Social Media Team” has added a new member, Master Sergeant Alberto Betancourt. 50-year old MSG B, as he’s known, gives us a little of his background in his first post on the Army Live Blog:

Most Soldiers consider me an “old-school” NCO. Besides the fact that I’m already over 50, my adapting to “change” is slower and I resist it tremendously. It’s not the fear of change that makes me resist. It’s the inability to catch on as quickly as my young Soldiers do.

Henceforth, the Social Media “craze” within Public Affairs. I did not see any reason why we needed to go there. As the former CMF 46 Branch Manager, I received numerous emails from Public Affairs Enlisted Soldiers inviting me to places like Facebook, Twitter and other sites.
