The Army launches 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Online Inbox

Yesterday, the Army put on their DADT online inbox. The project will collect comment and suggestion from the soldiers.

The inbox is accessible via the Army Knowledge Online homepage. The intent of the inbox is to help the Army assess and consider the impacts, if any, a change in 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law would have on operations, readiness, effectiveness, unit cohesion, recruiting and retention, and family readiness.

Complete instructions can be found on the inbox entry page on AKO. The inbox will remain open until Sept. 30, 2010, or until leadership decides the inbox has fulfilled its purpose. The Army Chief of Staff wants all Soldiers to have the opportunity to share comments and opinions.

What is learned from inbox comments will be shared with the DoD Comprehensive Review Working Group to assist in the development of an action plan to support effective implementation, if repeal of current law occurs. The more comments and opinions provided, the better the Army can gauge Soldier opinion and perception of the potential impact of a repeal.

Additionally, inbox comments could provide insight on how to best manage such impacts during implementation. To safeguard identity of respondents, the Army will employ control measures. Inbox users are reminded that current 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law remains in effect.

We'll see how this works.

Maybe...DADT? Maybe not

How do y'all feel about this?

Feels like Gay Rights Week to me

This week, major things are happening in the gay world. First, is the introduction of the DADT repeal, headed by Rep. Ellen O. Tauscher of Cali-Cal.

It has been talked about for a while, so I'm sure President Obama is aware of its presence. However, it could get pushed back considering the everything else that's happening in our country. Still, it seems like the easier issue to manage. And I really dreaming, if I really believed that.

And next is Prop 8 hearings. It's going to be an exciting time in Cali-Cal as the 'events' start this week. I'm hearing that a lot folks are planning to march and possibly protest all over. I won't be here for most of the week, since I will be in Seattle for NASPA. However, I will be on the computer looking for info. San Francisco will be a huge march on Wednesday. You can check out the info here .

It feels good to know that the stuff is going down. I hope there's some good news at the end these battles.
