*** From Edie Clark:
Hi, Ned:
One of my association's members is working to support fire and EMS
chiefs at military bases and is developing a Milbook community. (I
think you must know what that is -- Facebook for the military branches,
including the fire and EMS part of bases). It is part of the "Milsuite"
on the Defense Knowledge Online system (also on Army Knowledge Online,
etc.). He wants to network with anyone who is developing Milbook for
any of the communities in the military. Pretty niche oriented, but I
figure if anyone knows, you do.
Cheers!
Edie Clark

subscribes to DEFCON 1.
Please share these opportunities and refer this network to your friends
in the defense industry. They can subscribe for free when they send a
blank a-mail to DCO-sub-@topica.com.
