ETM's Online....Are you in a bind looking for a TM that you don't seem to have? This site is within the LOGSA site (featured on my "Logistics" page), but deserved it's own link here. Many TM's are available for viewing without a password, but some have limited access. When you first enter the site, I suggest you submit for your password and logon ID right away. That way, you won't find yourself in a bind later on. Here's an additional link you'll find to be very useful, to a list of ETM's by number and what equipment each one covers. It's within the LOGSA site, but it's very difficult to find if you don't know where it is. You'll find it by clicking here. Enjoy.......

They can be opened and used with FormFlow, PerFORM Pro, Adobe, JetForm and Novell InForm. If you do not have any of these programs, check with your unit Information Management Officer for help.
Regulations and Publications...This site is actually located within the USAPA Site, but I wanted to include it since it is a quick link to where you can download regulations to be viewed with the IBM Library Reader or Adobe Reader.
Forms...This site comes from the same location as the "Regulations and Publications" page just above, but it has just forms. Although all of the "forms" sites are good sources, this one is, in my opinion, the best one to start with.....

Federal Consumer Information Center, Pueblo, Colorado....This one is just a bit off of the beaten path when compared to the other links I have posted, but I believe it will quickly become one of your favorite sites. Most of us would not be able to explain how the budget works, or what happens to make social security benefits get to you. This site can provide you with that information and much more. Federal programs, assistance, health, housing......the list goes on. Some publications, which they will send through the mail, will cost you a little bit, with the price going from a few cents to a few dollars, but much of the information is provided free of charge. The great thing is that even the ones they charge for have a link you can click to view them with your Internet Browser, for free..........
United States Code...Many of our regulations are based on directives from the highest levels of government. This site puts one of those sources, the "United States Code", at your fingertips.
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!.......
