New Regulations Worrying Army Bloggers
Stars and Stripes reports that bloggers are worrying that new Army rules for all online postings could put severe restrictions on Soldiers' websites. The new regulations specifically ban posting pictures of roadside bomb attacks, images of troops killed in action, and any shots of base security measures. It also mandates that Soldiers "consult with their immediate supervisor and their OPSEC Officer for an OPSEC review prior to publishing or posting information in a public forum."
The new regulations are available in .pdf format.

Three Names Added to Vietnam Veterans Memorial
hree more names have been added to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. They are Army Sgt. Richard M. Pruett or Sherman, Texas, Navy Fireman Apprentice Joseph Gerald Krywicki of Holton, Mich., and Army Spc. Wesley Alvin Stiverson of Monticello, Ill. The Defense Department decides which names are to be inscribed on the wall. Since the memorial was dedicated in 1982, a few names have been added each year, and the new names are being added to panels of the wall that are closest to the dates that the men were wounded. For more information on the Memorial, visit the National Park Service's Vietnam Veterans Memorial website.
