DefendAmerica....For those of you looking for military news, photo galleries and more, this is a site you won't want to pass up..............
FedAmerica.com....How much do you know about your social security benefits? How about retired pay? Veterans benefits? TRICARE? Career transition? Well, here's a site that provides all of this information, and much more, absolutely free! You can also subscribe to a weekly newsletter that helps keep you up to date with the latest information affecting federal employees (and that includes us "G.I.'s").
FedWeek.com....Here's another quality site that provides an extensive amount of information which affects soldiers. Benefits are always a prime concern; the folks at FedWeek do a great job of getting that information out. They offer some info for free and some is for sale in handbooks. I personally purchased "Retired Military Personnel Handbook" to start preparing for my own retirement in approximately 3 years. In my opinion, it was definitely worth the $12.95 I paid (that includes the shipping and handling). There is also a regular email newsletter that you can sign up to receive.
MilitaryReport.com....There are many sites that sponsor "newsletters" and this is one of the better ones. You can sign up here to receive regular updates, or you can just check out some of the previous newsletters in the archives. I personally subscribe to this one and have found it to be a very good source of news concerning the military community. Definitely worth the visit.........

Increasing use of "The Army Link" has necessitated the need for me to upgrade from a "free to maintain" website, to one that now requires monthly fees to the provider. This included an upgrade of available bandwidth so that visitors to the site can continue it's use without interruption. I also reserved the domain http://www.thearmylink.com which ensures users of this site will always be able to locate it easily. The links below are to sponsors I am affiliated with in an effort to offset some of the cost. I have tried to choose those which will be of interest to visitors of this site. Rest assured, I will continue to maintain "The Army Link" for years to come. Our soldiers are always worth the time and effort!.......
