Citizen Soldier Skills....The Army Reserve's citizen-soldiers bring many skills to the table. Often, some of their greatest talents are acquired through training received from civilian employers, not through military schools. For example, many Active Guard/Reserve soldiers and military technicians have second jobs or own their own businesses. Through these channels members of the USAR receive training on a myriad of topics. However, until recently, the USAR did not have the means to capture this valuable information and could not capitalize on these additional skills. Many reservists may have been willing to lend their unique, civilian skills to the cause but because the USAR never tracked these valuable assets, they were never asked to help. The USAR has recognized this failure. Today, the tool for reservists to share the skills they possess now exists and is easy to use. It is the Civilian Acquired Skills Database, or CASDB. Once registered and in possession of a password, Reservists can go to the site and enter their data..........

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!.......
