Armed Forces Social Network connects military members and families
User Rating: / 0
Friday, 14 November 2008
A recently launched military social network now can connect members of the Armed Forces Community with each other and their families through new social networking capabilities.
The http://www.armedforcescommunity.com [Armed Forces Community] social network allows users worldwide to create profiles, showcase ribbons and badges, post videos in a YouTube fashion, find support, and start blogs, forums, and conversations with other members of the social network. In addition, members can search for other members with similar service backgrounds by zip code.
"The websites that are currently available for military personnel are mostly forums and blogs that do not capture the full social networking website concept.  Of the few that do, there are many that require subscriptions, certain types of email requirements (ROTC or .mil), and are branch specific.  This will be a site that enables all members and their families to connect with each other," says Michael Aiesi, founder of the social network and former Infantryman in the US Army.
Armed Forces Community will help parents, spouses and children stay in touch better than ever before.  Families of deployed soldiers are encouraged to sign up and meet fellow families in their area for support.
"As a whole, there is no site that has this much available for the service member in one place.  There will also be a section devoted to organizations that deal specifically with veterans and their families," adds Aiesi.
Registration and use of all the website's features are completely free. Sign up at http://www.armedforcescommunity.com [Armed Forces Community] today.
