On Monday, October 26, we celebrated and discussed the role of public affairs in the U.S. Armed Forces—specifically the U.S. Navy—since World War II, as well as the effectiveness of strategic and tactical approaches of Department of Defense public affairs. This first-of-its-kind webcast provided a spirited discussion about public affairs and pursuing a career in communications within the Navy, and largely the U.S. Armed Forces.
