Army Times does a story on miltary members who blog, including a link to me.
Soldiers are trying to make sure their version of the truth from Iraq gets out.If you check my “About” link, you’ll find that I retired in October 2003, which also explains why you'll find my real my real name there. Additionally, I have posted some of my recollections regarding the Air Force under the categories “Military” and “Memories of the First Life.”
Even though for many, that truth doesn’t include revealing their identities, their online diaries are becoming an increasingly popular way for anyone with an Internet connection to “listen in” on the war zone.Blogs provide a vehicle for soldiers to speak their minds and tell their personal stories. But the information medium also poses new dangers that the Army is still trying to come to terms with.
Some soldiers have found that blogging can have great benefits, and others have discovered the hard way that there can be consequences for posting things their commanders don’t approve of. Nonetheless, the number of soldiers who blog continues to grow. [SNIP]• Baldilocks.

Otherwise, thanks for the link, Good People at the Army Times, and keep on rolling.
