Media Ethics Disclaimer: If you are in the National Guard, before you speak with the media or write to your representative, please keep in mind the following rules of thumb... use of name, unit, and branch is OK, but if speaking publicly you should not be in uniform - the uniform implies official endorsement of Guard. You can offer your personal opinion, but make it clear that this is not the official opinion of your unit or the National Guard. Refer the media to the State Public Affairs Officer (PAO) for an official opinion.
