More bloggers

Some more IA bloggers that I've added to the bloglist on the right:

48 Mondays: a reserve PAO

ultdusta: with post titles like "Pink Tactical Girl Bike" and "Rotting Testicles"

aaronbedy: another PAO, who is an attorney on the outside

A Chop In The Sand: the name says it all

And the granddaddy of cynical Navy IA bloggers, The Augmentee, has come back online after going on hiatus for a few months.

A couple more bloggers

I've added a couple more Navy IA bloggers to the list on the right side. Jessi, Bob and the Monsters is a blog by a deploying chief and her reservist husband. And Djohn's Djibouti Djournal is a blog by a Navy doc on an individual augmentee vacation in Djibouti.


I've received my orders to Afghanistan. I'm not sure how much I'll write about my time, but for now I'll keep gathering links to the stories being told by other IA sailors.

Update: Forgot to mention Deploying in a Sea of Sand and Ron's Rants.

USFF IA Website MIA

I've removed the link to the Fleet Forces IA website from the sidebar. The link's been dead for a few days. They had been advertising that they wanted a reservist to spend the summer overhauling their IA web presence, so I'd guess that the site is undergoing an overhaul as part of that planned process.

There are a couple of new IA bloggers around linked on the right.  Uncle Cobs Joins The Narmy is a j.g. recently deployed. I've also added Dirt Sailor to the bloglist.  (Not to be confused with the other Dirt Sailor, who is on the "Radio Silence" list since his return from Iraq.)

Two New IA bloggers added to the bloglist

Found a couple more Navy Individual Augmentees who have started blogging. In the NARMY Now is by a Master at Arms.  Highland Sailor is an LDO with more than 20 years in.  Should add for some diversity of viewpoints.  

Radio Silence

There's got to be a better way to do this. I'll probably add links to the side bar for these folks, but for now (lest I lose the scrap of paper with these links while I'm, er... between jobs) I thought I'd link-dump to blogs of Navy IA's who have either gone silent or are home and have turned their blogging to normalcy. Send along others if you know of them.
