Additional Blog Entry #1 of 2
http://www.army.com/blog/

It is important to get a feel for the “pulse” of the Army and its Soldiers by reading this blog. Everything I create (instructionally) will have to deal with this organization and its people. It is important that I keep up with the news, information, and trends (which can be accomplished by following this blog.) I want to know the “ups” and “downs” that the Soldiers are going through. I want to know how policies affect them. I want to know how the family members feel about what is going on within the Army structure. There are so many topics covered in this blog…it is a goldmine of pertinent information.

This blog also allows me to take a look inside a military organization that is filled with formal structure and tradition. As a Department of the Army Civilian, not having been of prior Army military service, this blog allows me to understand the formal structure and traditions that make up this organization. Over the past year, I have been following the structure of the Army at work, filling in gaps of information that a civilian has. Reading journals has helped me understand. This blog is a digital journal. Up to date information is available as soon as it is released to the public. I don’t have to wait for the paper version of the article. This is a much quicker way to get information.
