..........I am excited to report that I have now created a site for those looking for online Exchange Assignments, commonly known as StateSide Swaps. This is a feature you will find only on "The Army Link". Click on the link below, or for convenience, click here. Best of luck on that swap!
..........Tired of following elusive links from page to page, each providing only a couple sites at a time? The Army Link was created to try to eliminate that hassle. My entire site is structured to minimize your time searching, by grouping links together by subject and providing quick links to each subject. If you would like to read more about the site, then click here.
..........If you have difficulty with any of the links, or if you know of an interesting or helpful site that is U.S. Army oriented, or if you would just like to send along some feedback about the site, please E-Mail me at editor@thearmylink.iwarp.com or, once you have checked out the site, please sign my guestbook and let me know what you think. Click here to view the current guestbook or, if you wish to view any of my past guestbooks, click on one of the links at the bottom of the page.
Having a hard time figuring out which category you want to check in? Try searching all of "The Army Link" with my customized search box below:
Here are the most recent additions to "The Army Link". Please don't be surprised as links are removed. Each one I place here is also in it's appropriate location, accessible via the table of contents at the top of this page. I try to not have more than 10 sites in this section, so I delete the oldest one, but I still leave the other copy of the link until it no longer works. It will also be removed immediately if it should happen to become obnoxious, anti-military, or of questionable ethical values.......Enjoy.......
Infantrymen.net....Here's a site for those with the highest levels of hooah! You'll find links to a broad range of topics, oriented towards all soldiers, as well as Infantrymen. There are also bulletin boards for each of the services.......a great way to post questions and get feedback on various issues and concerns. Enjoy the visit..............
America's Army....A description of this site is best found in the following quote from the Frequently Asked Questions page. "The America's Army game provides civilians with an inside perspective and a virtual role in today's premier land force: the U.S. Army. The game is designed to provide an accurate portrayal of Soldier experiences across a number of occupations. To accomplish this we designed the America's Army game to include the Operations game, a 3D action game that portrays training and small unit actions, as well as Soldiers, the role-playing portion to be released in 2003, which allows players to navigate life's challenges to achieve life goals in the Army." The game is free and can be downloaded from the website or it can be requested from an Army Recriter. Keep in mind that the download is fairly huge (330 megs) and will take quite a while to download with dial up...............

Military Sentinel....This quote from their site says it best....."Military Sentinel is a project of the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Defense to identify and target consumer protection issues that affect members of the United States Armed Forces and their families. To file a consumer complaint, click on your service seal. This will link you to the consumer complaint forms. Military Sentinel also provides a gateway to consumer education materials covering a wide range of consumer protection issues, from auto leasing, to identity theft, to work-at-home scams. To view consumer education material and find out more about the Federal Trade Commission, click on the Federal Trade Commission seal. Military Sentinel allows members of the United States Armed Forces to enter consumer complaints directly into a database that is immediately accessible by over 500 law enforcement organizations throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia. These law enforcement agencies use this complaint data to target cases for prosecution and other enforcement measures. The information from Military Sentinel can also be used by members of the JAG staff and others in the Department of Defense to help protect armed services members and their families from consumer protection-related problems." The bottom line is, this is a great avenue to use in reporting problems to the authorities...............
