Army Network Called on to benefit Reservists

"Army Knowledge Online" Collaboration Group Opens Shop on Space-A for Returning Reservists

An "Army Knowledge Online" (AKO) collaboration group has been formed, based on and pointed at resolving this issue. Personnel administration groups already existing within AKO have been invited to participate and to seek establishment of procedures that will facilitate returning Reservists in using this wonderful privilege. Creator of that group is the UTMC editor.

"I wanted to see if AKO can do as it intended to do, strengthen and facilitate full utilization of Army resources with such a collaboration, and in this case by bettering the experiences of returning Reservists from Iraq and Afghanistan and other deployments," writes Mike Mitchell.

Wikipedia says of it and its functions: "Army Knowledge Online (AKO)" is the worlds largest corporate intranet, and the US Army's single approved enterprise-class web portal. AKO provides secure access to Army web assets, tools and services to soldiers, Army employees, retirees and family members worldwide. AKO is a driving factor in the ongoing transformation of the US Army into the agile, network based force that is required for today's conflicts. As of this writing, AKO has almost 1.8 million registered users, and supports over 275K unique logins and 8 million emails daily."

3 - I too am a widow of a career (20 years) Army veteran.My husband died as the result of Agent Orange. If not for that I would still be able to travel on Space A with my spouse. I think we should be able to utilize this privilege since it is on a Space Available basis. If there are no seats available we don't get on the plane;but if there are,why waste the seats? (Comment this)
